AAS Publishing at AAS 246 in Anchorage
The AAS Publishing team looks forward to engaging with attendees at the upcoming summer meeting of the AAS. Here’s what they’ll be up to at the meeting.
Star-Crossed Clusters: When Ages Are at Odds
If you measure the age of a star using two different methods, do those ages agree? New research shows where our age estimates might be mismatched and what this disagreement could mean.
Jumping Through Hoops: A New Way to Explore the Black Hole–Galaxy Connection
Astrobites reports on a new method being used to explore the relationship between the mass of a supermassive black hole and the properties of the galaxy it inhabits.
Featured Image: JWST Examines the Ring Nebula
New JWST images of the Ring Nebula reveal a dusty disk around the nebula’s central star — just the second resolved disk known around a planetary nebula’s central star.
Abundant but Ambiguous: Understanding the Atmospheres of Sub-Neptunes with JWST
Sub-Neptunes may be the most abundant planet type in the galaxy, but they are not yet well understood. A recent study uses JWST to characterize the atmosphere of the sub-Neptune GJ 3090b to aid in the study of these planets.
Monthly Roundup: A Deep View of Planet-Forming Disks with ALMA
Introducing exoALMA: a survey of 15 large, bright protoplanetary disks that has revealed gas structures that point to potential planet formation.
Stars on the Move: New Insights from the Galactic Center
Astrobites reports on a curious cluster of stars moving together near Sgr A*. Is it a stellar coincidence, or a sign of a hidden black hole?
Creation from Collapse: Making Elements in a White Dwarf’s Final Moments
Some neutron stars might arise from the collapse of a white dwarf. Simulations show that this transformation is likely accompanied by a burst of element creation.
