Thermal Electrons Can Explain the Mysterious Radio Behavior of a Tidal Disruption Event
Astrobites reports on how synchrotron emission from thermal electrons could help to explain the behavior of certain tidal disruption events.
Who Needs Jupiter?
The original plan for an upcoming flagship mission to Uranus called for a slingshot around Jupiter. Now that the planet won’t be in the right position at launch time, the spacecraft will need to follow a different path.
How early did planets form in the universe? A recent study used simulations to find that planetesimals could have formed significantly earlier than previously thought.
Astrobites reports on JWST observations of dust that has survived being expelled from a galaxy into the circumgalactic medium.
Researchers have discovered a comet-shaped nebula surrounding a pulsar speeding through the remains of its progenitor star.
JWST observations of the most recent interstellar visitor reveal a coma dominated not by water, as expected for solar system comets, but instead carbon monoxide.
PDS 70c is the first exoplanet known to host a circumplanetary disk, where moons are potentially forming.
Galaxies of Many Colors
Astrobites reports on whether our methods for weighing galaxies can help save cosmology from JWST’s universe-breaking galaxies.
An accreting stellar-mass black hole embedded in a supernova remnant is potentially a powerful cosmic particle accelerator.
