Monthly Roundup: Gravitational Wave Predictions and Comparisons
Gravitational waves from collapsars, mass-gap black holes, and local supermassive black holes are the subject of this Monthly Roundup.
Researchers examine the possibility that one-off and repeating fast radio bursts could both arise from magnetars.
Astrobites reports on the Fomalhaut debris disk, which is well studied but may contain a hidden planet we haven’t seen yet.
An ongoing survey aims to detect bursts of radio emission associated with flares and coronal mass ejections from young Sun-like stars.
AT2024wpp is the most powerful fast blue optical transient spotted so far. What do extensive X-ray and radio observations tell us about this event?
Researchers show how preferential accretion in a merging pair of supermassive black holes can explain the unexpectedly large amplitude of the gravitational wave background.
Astrobites reports on simulations that explore whether a baby neutron star repeatedly diving into the envelope of its inflated companion star could be the cause of bumpy supernova light curves.
Researchers have investigated how solar flares might signal that they’re about to occur and whether they’ll be accompanied by an explosion of plasma.
Astrobites reports on efforts to understand how the variability of certain variable stars changes over time.
