Using a high-resolution simulation, a researcher has reproduced the Sun’s near-surface shear layer for the first time, leading to improved understanding of how the layer is constructed.
Researchers have cataloged 142 candidate dark galaxies that appear to have smaller dynamical masses and are located in less dense regions of space compared to luminous galaxies.
Simulations demonstrate that the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) may be able to connect binary black holes to individual globular clusters; even one localized binary would be immensely scientifically useful.
A quantitative description and diagnosis of a filament eruption is within reach using a data-constrained magnetohydrodynamics simulation that can be applied to weak active regions in spherical coordinates.
What was once thought to be a single exoplanet-hosting star has now been revealed to be a binary system containing two Sun-like stars; despite this change, the planet’s orbit still appears to be stable long term.
Ground-based observations of Jupiter’s moon Europa suggest that sodium and potassium are ejected from Europa’s surface by a high-energy process such as ion sputtering.
