Hiding in Plain Sight: Betelgeuse’s Binary Buddy
Astrobites reports on two research articles that find evidence for one of the most well-studied stars in the night sky having a binary companion.
Rings and gaps in TWA 7’s debris disk suggested a planet might be lurking nearby. JWST observations may have revealed the hidden world.
Astrobites reports on how we might be able to observe gravitational wave signals from intermediate-mass black holes in binary systems with stellar-mass black holes.
An incredible beacon from the first billion years of the universe, Earendel has been touted as the most distant single star ever seen — but it might not be a single star at all.
Astrobites reports on the three galactic suspects in the case of an ultra-high-energy neutrino.
JWST provides new evidence that one of our nearest neighbor stars, Alpha Centauri A, might host a giant planet in its habitable zone.
When a supermassive black hole captures a significantly smaller object, the interaction could produce gravitational waves that have not yet been detected. A new study explores such events and how future gravitational wave detectors may be able to feel them for years to come.
The “little red dot” CAPERS-LRD-z9 is the most distant object to show the characteristic broad emission lines of fast-moving gas around a black hole.
