Another interview for #BlackInAstroWeek! We interview Dr. Carl E. Fields, a rising star studying core-collapse supernovae using computer simulations and one of the #BlackInAstro co-organizers!
Teenage Galaxy Eludes Authorities
A newly discovered dwarf galaxy near the Local Group appears to be young and lonely and it shut off star formation. What could be responsible for the quenching if there are no nearby bright galaxies?
UR: Using Machine Learning to Identify Transients in the DESI Survey
Today’s undergraduate post talks about how to use machine learning to find transients in galactic spectra!
Dust in Time – Supernovae May Not Destroy Dust As Quickly As We Think
The dust destruction efficiency of supernovae may not be a high as we previously thought. Why is this, and what can it tell us about star formation?
FRBs are spiraling out of control
We may have detected a lot of fast radio bursts this year, but the journey to discover where they come from is far from complete!
Smashing Neutrons: On the Origin of Extreme r-process Enhanced Stars
Heavy elements require extreme conditions to be produced. Today’s bite explores three unique stars that may give us additional clues on how that happens.
