Filling In the Blanks with Machine Learning
With data from the Gaia satellite and spectroscopic surveys, machine learning can fill in gaps in our knowledge of how stars move.
Finding Structure Among Black Holes
New research has explored the populations of black holes involved in catastrophic, gravitational-wave-emitting collisions — and an interesting pattern has emerged.
Going with the Outflow
Astrobites reports on the closest look yet at the mysterious outflows from high-mass newborn stars.
A Pileup of Perpendicular Planets
A new study explores what we can learn from planets that are misaligned with their stars.
Dynamic Desorption: A Tale of Cosmic Rays
Astrobites reports on how cosmic rays can knock molecules from the ice layers on dust grains into gas, a process known as desorption.
The largest filled-aperture radio telescope in the world has discovered a new assortment of distant, pulsating neutron stars.
Astrobites reports on the discovery of K2-138g, another sub-Neptune in K2’s most harmonious system.
In the simulated cross-section of a protoplanetary disk shown here, dust swirls around as a consequence of the recent passage of an orbiting planet.
Science with a Single Merger Event
Future gravitational-wave observatories could enable us to use a single binary neutron star merger to measure the universe’s rate of expansion.
