The snack that fights back
Today’s bite explores how munching on tiny black holes can lead stars to an early demise.
Stellar Feedback Regulating Massive Black Hole Growth
How is the growth of massive black holes regulated by starlight and stellar explosions? Learn more in today’s bite!
Does Feedback Support Massive Black Hole Growth in Dwarf Galaxies?
How does one prevent a black hole from growing in a tiny galaxy? Today’s authors investigate two potential mechanisms!
Crushing, Collapsing, Combusting — How Massive Single Stars Die
A deep dive into the classic paper on how massive single stars die, and what it means for the evolution of the universe.
Bumpy road ahead: can binary interactions make supernovae periodically brighter?
Some supernovae have bumpy light curves – could a baby neutron star repeatedly diving into the envelope of its inflated companion be the cause? Today’s authors simulate this to find out!
Looking for a single stellar ancestor: Mono-enriched stars in zoom-in simulations
Today’s bite explores if we’ll be able to find a star that has formed from the gas enriched by only one stellar predecessor, an interesting way to probe what’s actually happening in stellar nucleosynthesis.
