The SKA Observatory has released Advancing Astrophysics II, a new collection showcasing the broad range of science that will be enabled by the SKA telescopes. The anthology brings together 221 peer-reviewed papers from more than 1,500 scientists in 51 countries, covering topics from the Sun, planets and star formation to galaxies, cosmology and the extreme [...]
ALMA has captured a vast stream of gas feeding the young triple-star system GW Orionis, located about 1,300 light-years away. Stretching roughly 12,000 astronomical units (0.2 light-years), the streamer connects the surrounding molecular cloud with the system’s unusual, misaligned planet-forming rings. The observations provide strong evidence that late infall of material from a star’s natal [...]

ACME announced: The deadline for the current TNA calls for KM3NeT and Pierre Auger Observatory has been extended until July the 20th, at 12:00 UTC. https://www.acme-astro.eu/tna-km3net-22-may-2026/ https://www.acme-astro.eu/tna-auger-22-may-2026/ This extension provides additional time for researchers to prepare and submit their proposals, and we hope it will encourage even broader participation.
Diego Alvarez-Ortega from Institute of Astrophysics, Foundation for Research and Technology and University of Crete will present VIPCALs, a fully automated end-to-end calibration pipeline for VLBI continuum data that requires no user intervention or prior knowledge of the dataset. Tested on 1000 VLBA AGN datasets, it reproduces standard calibration procedures and delivers science-ready products efficiently, enabling large-scale [...]
