Breaking Wind: Supernova feedback in galaxies
It turns out that supernovae, much like beans, are a magical fruit that can make galaxies release an outflow of gas. Also, simulations are complicated.
The Life Cycles of Dust Grains
Dust grains play an important in many facets of astrophysics. See how their lives are revealed in realistic simulations for the first time!
Making of an Active Galactic Nucleus
In light of new observations, the traditional dusty-torus picture of active galactic nuclei may need revision.
A Trio of Supernova Fossils
In the Triangulum Galaxy, over the course of a hundred thousand years, three supernova exploded from the same star cluster. The remains of these explosions have expanded into a trio of giant bubbles nested within each other.
