Now That’s Metal: How to Spot Stars That Have Swallowed Their Planets
Stars gobbling up their close-in planets is likely common throughout the universe. Researchers explore the chemical signatures of these events and where they’re most likely to be seen.
The First Starspot Spectrum Revealed by JWST
Astrobites reports on how researchers have taken advantage of the unique TOI-3884 system to directly probe a starspot with JWST.
JWST peers through dusty, knotted gas to uncover young star clusters in the interacting Antennae galaxies.
Researchers have discovered six faint millisecond pulsars by stacking FAST radio observations.
With hundreds of pairs of merging black holes now detected via gravitational waves, researchers can investigate the sites of black hole mergers across the universe.
Life on the (Red) Edge
Astrobites reports on a surface biosignature called the vegetation red edge and how we might find it on other worlds.
Playing Pool with Planets
A new study suggests that warm and hot Jupiters, despite looking different today, underwent the same dynamical evolution when they were younger.
The new observations show that the asteroid will safely pass by the Moon at a distance of more than 20,000 kilometers.
Astrobites reports on new mid-infrared observations that allow researchers to probe the structure of active galactic nuclei.
