Tracing Gas Flows Out of Star-Forming Galaxies
The movement of gas into and out of galaxies heavily impacts galaxy evolution. So how does gas flow out of galaxies that are very actively forming stars?
Today we celebrate a milestone for AAS Nova and reflect on some of what’s happened in astronomy in the past five years.
Astrobites reports on active galactic nuclei discovered within dwarf galaxies with the MaNGA survey.
Is Venus still volcanically active today? The differences between the two rocks shown here point to an answer.
Hints of Young Solar Systems
How did our solar system’s planets first form within the swirling disk of gas and dust that surrounded the newborn Sun? New observations from ALMA provide clues.
Scientists have gone on the hunt for feeding supermassive black holes that show periodic patterns in their varying high-energy light.
Salt and Hot Water around Massive Protostars
Astrobites reports on the discovery of table salt and super-heated water in two massive protostellar disks, hinting at a new type of “hot-disk” chemistry.
Pulsars have historically been classified into different categories — but the distinction between them may be blurrier than we thought.
