Kazuki Tokuda et al 2023 ApJL 956 L16
A ring-like structure surrounding a protostar is difficult to explain with well-studied phenomena like molecular outflows and instead may be a sign of magnetic flux transferral.
By tuning rates of star formation and black hole formation, researchers explore the likely rates of neutrino detection by the Super-Kamiokande and Hyper-Kamiokande detectors.

Researchers explore the possibility that fast radio bursts are produced when neutron stars spiral into supermassive black holes and describe the implications of this scenario.
A new framework allows researchers to determine the small fraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (sooty molecules mostly made up of rings of carbon atoms) that are composed of carbon chains rather than rings.
New simulations focus on how the radiation from a ripped-apart star affects the momentum and energy of the gas, influencing the emission seen during a tidal disruption event leading up to its peak.
Researchers report on the causes of chromospheric grains, which are brief, periodic, tiny brightenings of the solar chromosphere seen in emission from calcium atoms.
