New Species of Dwarf Galaxy in the Galaxy Cluster Ecosystem?
@astrobites's Brandon Pries reports on the potential discovery of a dark-matter-free dwarf galaxy hiding in the tentacle of a jellyfish galaxy. aasnova.org/2024/11/19/new-s…
ALT an example of a jellyfish galaxy: a spiral galaxy that appears to be torn in half, with the torn half extending behind the galaxy like the tentacles of a jellyfish
From Samantha Wong: Today’s authors take a look at (possibly) the brightest flare from a supermassive black hole that we’ve ever seen! 🔭✨️

The Galactic Golden Child Cassiopeia A Through the Lens of JWST
@astrobites's @spacey_sonja reports on JWST observations that get up close and personal with the famous supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. aasnova.org/2024/11/12/the-g…
From Lindsey Gordon: Bundle up – we’re taking a look at some cool simulations of cluster cold fronts. 🔭✨️
astrobites.org/2024/11/11/co…
From @IveyEDavis: Today’s authors investigate the possibility of detecting dark matter being converted into gamma rays by the the most famous supernova’s remnant. 🔭✨️
astrobites.org/2024/11/09/su…
From Brandon Pries: Active galactic nuclei are commonly observed in large galaxies, but what about small galaxies? Today’s paper explores the effects of the universe’s largest and loudest black holes in the universe’s smallest galaxies. 🔭✨️

From Sowkhya Shanbhog: Who is responsible for the death of star formation in galaxies? 🔭✨️
astrobites.org/2024/11/07/ga…
From Nathalie Korhonen Cuestas: Today’s paper investigates the star-forming histories of early galaxies and finds that galaxies form their stars in bursts, interspersed with lulls. 🔭✨️
astrobites.org/2024/11/06/bu…
From Abbé Whitford: In today’s bite, we look at a new approach to modelling the expansion rate of the Universe, in a way that takes into account how growing structures like voids or haloes in the Universe impact this. 🔭✨️
astrobites.org/2024/11/04/ex…
From @toribonidie: The authors of today’s paper put forth theoretical models of how habitable exoplanets might appear to the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) using the molecules present in the Earth’s atmosphere from earlier eons 🔭✨️
astrobites.org/2024/11/04/li…
From Brandon Pries: How are some of the heaviest elements on the periodic table created? Today’s authors look at how mergers between black holes and neutron stars could form these heavy metals! 🔭✨️

From @chirpmass: Curious about creating a website but not sure where to start? This tutorial has you covered! 🔭✨️
astrobites.org/2024/11/01/cr…
From Cesiley King: Today’s paper showcases the performances of new kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) that will enable observations of infrared and millimeter light that have the potential to advance various areas of astronomy and cosmology. 🔭✨️

Testing Cosmology with the Dark Energy Survey Five-Year Supernova Dataset
@astrobites's @AbbeW25 reports on tests of cosmological models using measurements of nearly 2,000 supernovae from the Dark Energy Survey and other sources. aasnova.org/2024/10/29/testi… @theDESurvey
ALT Victor M. Blanco 4-meter Telescope
From Janette Suherli: Today’s paper took a closer look at the properties of three neutron star bow shocks in unprecedented detail, revealing new insights into the hidden physics behind these cosmic collisions. 🔭✨
