Eta Carinae’s New Dimension: 3D Printing Meets Computational Astrophysics
The massive binary star system Eta Carinae has been examined like never before in a recent study. Read on to hear the new discoveries from this approach, and the potential it opens for astrophysical research.
Mapping Magnetic Fields with Exoplanet Transits
Transit observations can yield a lot of information about exoplanets. If a transiting exoplanet encounters stellar wind, the bow shock created can show up in the transit light curves. In this paper, the authors investigate how the stellar wind of a star can shape the light curves we observe.
The Mystery of the Sickle in the Carina Nebula
There’s a strange sickle-shaped object in the Carina Nebula. The authors of this paper used observations at several different wavelengths to investigate the nature of this intriguing nebula, leading to some interesting discoveries and even more questions.
A Novel Approach of Determining the Mass-loss Rates of Massive Stars
These authors describe a novel method to determine the mass-loss rates of massive runaway stars.
