quasar artist's concept

A recent study with JWST has unveiled how a reionization-era quasar has suppressed star formation in its galactic neighbors.

Researchers examine the possibility that one-off and repeating fast radio bursts could both arise from magnetars.

Fomalhaut debris disk

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.

luminous fast blue optical transient

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?

Simulation of a supermassive black hole binary

Researchers show how preferential accretion in a merging pair of supermassive black holes can explain the unexpectedly large amplitude of the gravitational wave background.

Hubble image of a supernova in the galaxy NGC 2525

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.

Images of a solar flare at different wavelengths

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.
