A Unified Explanation for Fast Radio Bursts
Researchers examine the possibility that one-off and repeating fast radio bursts could both arise from magnetars.
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.

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