Twenty Thousand Stars Later, They Didn’t Find a Single Planet (and That’s Cool, Too!)
Astrobites reports on a study that shows that hot stars seem to host fewer small planets than their cooler stellar cousins.
What has the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way’s galactic neighbor been up to? The Chandra X-ray Observatory provides all the details.
When mapping energetic atoms from the edge of our solar system, the Interstellar Boundary Explorer discovered an unexpected ribbon-like feature that researchers are still working to understand.
Them’s the (Balmer) Breaks
Astrobites reports on what might be powering the strange, puzzling young galaxies known as little red dots.
Following decades of disproven claims, four small exoplanets have been confirmed to orbit Barnard’s Star, the second-closest star system to Earth after Alpha Centauri.
When a gas cloud collapses to form a star cluster, how many objects form, and what are their masses? Research published today provides answers about the low-mass end of the star and brown dwarf formation process.
Recent JWST observations have stirred up concerns about over-massive black holes in the early universe. A new study allays these concerns while showing that over-massive black holes are just scratching the surface of the full black hole population.
Astrobites reports on the star-forming histories of early galaxies and galaxies that form their stars in bursts interspersed with lulls.
