Are recent constraints from cosmology hinting at new physics?
In today’s bite, we discuss proposed ideas to understand recent constraints on neutrino mass from cosmological data.
Noclip on! Simulated primordial black holes could dance through Sun-like stars
What might the orbit of a primordial black hole going in and out of a Sun-like star look like?
Mooing Magnetars: Modeling the Enigmatic FBOT AT2018cow “The Cow”
The classic fast blue optical transient AT2018cow has remained a mystery to astronomers since it was discovered. Find out how a semi-spherical cow might just explain the optical and X-ray properties of “The Cow”!
Horizon or No-rizon? Hunting for new physics in black hole event horizons!
In this Astrobite, we see if gravitational waves can help us find theoretical horizonless compact objects, exotic objects predicted by modern alternatives to General Relativity!
The Trouble with Black Hole Wobbles
Today’s authors show that including nonlinear modes improves the black hole ringdown model and could be very important for gravitational wave data analysis.
