See a Simulation of the Moon for Every Day in 2019 It’s always easier to show someone a picture of something rather than to use 1,000 words to explain it. The people at NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio (SVS) know this, and they’re experts. Every year they release a simulation of the Moon that shows what the Moon will look like to us each day.

Dark matter on the move Scientists have found evidence that dark matter can be heated up and moved around, as a result of star formation in galaxies. The findings provide the first observational evidence for the effect known as ‘dark matter heating’, and give new clues as to what makes up dark matter. The research is published today in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. phys.org Go to SourceRead More →

Luminous gamma-ray flare detected from the blazar DA 193 An international group of astronomers has detected an intense and extremely luminous gamma-ray flare from one of high-redshift blazars known as DA 193. The new detection, reported in a paper published December 18 on arXiv.org, is an uncommon finding as such bright flares are rarely observed from high-redshift sources. phys.org Go to SourceRead More →

As a case study, the complex $delta$-type AR 12673 and the simple $beta$-type AR 12674 are investigated in detail. Since the axial dipole moment at cycle minimum determines the amplitude of the subsequent cycle and space climate, we have assimilated the individual observed magnetic configurations of these two ARsRead More →

The improved PV model depends only on two parameters: the inflaton mass $m$, and another smaller mass $M$; where the latter has to be chosen in order to undertake that, at present time, the dark energy density of the universe is approximately about 70% of the total energy budget of the universe. The value of the inflaton mass $m$ is calculated using the observational value ofRead More →

Hansen</a> We investigate the role that planet detection order plays in the Kepler planet detection pipeline. The Kepler pipeline typically detects planets in order of descending signal strength (MES). We find that the detectability of transits experiences an additional $5.5%$ and $15.9%$ efficiency loss, for periods $200$ days respectively, when detected after the strongest signal transit in a multiple-planet system. We provide a method for determining the transit probability for multiple-planet systems by marginalizing over the empirical Kepler dataset.Read More →

The Evolution of Massive Helium Stars Including Mass Loss. (arXiv:1901.00215v1 [astro-ph.SR]) <a href="http://arxiv.org/find/astro-ph/1/au:+Woosley_S/0/1/0/all/0/1">S. E. Woosley</a> The evolution of helium stars with initial masses in the range 1.6 to 120 Msun is studied, including the effects of mass loss by winds. It is assumed that these stars are formed in binary systems when their expanding hydrogenic envelopes are promptly lost at helium ignition. Significant differences are found with single star evolution, chiefly because the helium core loses mass during helium burning rather than gaining it from hydrogen shell burning. Consequently presupernova stars for a given initial mass function have considerably smaller mass when they die andRead More →

To interpret the observational results, we perform a series of (non-)idealRead More →
