Today’s forecast? Gusty winds on a brown dwarf
How could we measure winds on a distant brown dwarf or a Jupiter-like planet?
Not all Black Holes that Wander are Lost
The surprising result of a search for radio AGN in nearby dwarf galaxies
Same time, same place: pinpointing star formation in distant active galaxies
Using super high resolution data from ALMA and the VLA, the authors of this paper resolve star formation in active galaxies — and find that active galactic nuclei are embedded inside central star-forming regions.
These aren’t the bursts you’re looking for
During the search for an elusive electromagnetic counterpart to the newest gravitational wave in town, GW170104, a very special supernova was uncovered. Here we discuss its classification and whether it is linked to the origin of GW170104 .
Protostar Polarization: The Role of Magnetic Fields in Star Formation
Magnetic fields are believed to play an integral role in the formation of stars and protoplanetary disks. Today’s article took the one of the closest looks ever at the magnetic field around a baby star and unveiled its underlying structure.
Interpreting Radio-Silence
Do all tidal disruption events produce jets? This paper tests the hypothesis that they do!
