A research team considered the factors that block the propagation of photons within the region governed by the intense magnetic field of a magnetar: the extremely dense, rapidly rotating core of a dead massive star.

JWST observations open a new window onto a luminous infrared galaxy, pinning down its brilliant emission to a source less than 1,100 light-years across and dredging up five new star-forming sources.

It may be far more difficult to detect planets around rapidly rotating (period less than one day) M dwarfs, which might explain why planets in the Pleiades star cluster have been hard to come by.

Venus’s tallest mountain has a line above which metallic and semi-metallic compounds are present on the planet’s surface, and the snow line shows signs of a “snow shadow” where the mountain blocks the winds.

Differences in pre-explosion spectra of certain superluminous supernovae are correlated with differences in temperature, polarization, ejecta velocity, and, potentially, light-curve evolution.

A new method can turn low-resolution solar images into high-resolution ones, using a technique in which a computer learns to undo the process of adding noise to high-resolution images.
