Surprise discovery provides new insights into stellar deaths

Astronomers, working on a project to detect supernovas, made a surprise discovery when they found that one supernova explosion was actually a star being pulled apart by a supermassive black hole. This rare stellar death, known as a tidal disruption event, or TDE, occurs when the powerful gravity of a supermassive black hole rips apart [...]

Cosmic dust: Origin, applications and implications 11-15 June 2018 in Copenhagen

The international conference on cosmic dust that runs every fifth year is now running in Copenhagen. Research on cosmic dust has grown in importance over the past decade due to the unparalleled sensitivity of new astronomical facilities operating at radio regimes, such as the ALMA array, and the Planck, and Herschel satellites. These five-yearly meetings give dust-specialists [...]

RadioNet supports “The Power of Faraday Tomography — towards 3D mapping of cosmic magnetic fields”

The workshop “The Power of Faraday Tomography — towards 3D mapping of cosmic magnetic fields” will take place next week in Miyazaki, Japan. It focuses on a powerful new analysis technique, Faraday Tomography, that enables disentangling overlapping Faraday rotation contributions along a line of sight. Faraday Tomography of polarized synchrotron emission will thus allow us to [...]
