Type Ia supernovae’s dimmer cousin, type II supernovae, take a shot at measuring the Hubble constant.
Going with the Tide: Does tidal dissipation play an important role in stellar/black hole mergers?
In today’s paper: how does tidal dissipation and gravitational wave emission affect the result of encounters between stars and black hole binaries in stellar clusters?
HEAVY, BUT NOT METAL: Could Metal-Free Stars be the Source of Massive Black Hole Mergers?
In today’s paper, the authors test the theory that the earliest, metal-poorest stars are the primary source of binary black hole mergers.
What Goes Bump in the Night: Superluminous Supernovae Show Bumps and Wiggles at Late Times
More radiant than typical supernovae- superluminous supernovae- have a mysterious source of power. Some show odd bumps and wiggles late in their evolution.
