Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are repeating flashes of radio waves that remain a source of mystery to astronomers. We do know a few things about them: FRBs originate from far…
…that two previously detected black holes are spinning too fast to have been affected by any ultralight bosons. Because of their large spins, the black holes’ existence rules out the…
Abstract: Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-long bursts of GHz-frequency emission that appear to be of cosmological origin. The high all-sky rate of FRBs, R~2100 per day, and estimated energy…
The pulse widths, dispersion measures and dispersion indices of Fast Radio Bursts (FRB) impose coupled constraints that all models must satisfy. Conventional single thin screen scattering models imply electron densities…
Abstract: Blueshifted ionized absorption features at near-relativistic velocities (v~0.1c or higher), known as ultra-fast outflows (UFOs), seem to be ubiquitously present in X-ray spectra of many AGN populations of different…
…write and most of the students in the class could do it. Forget for a moment that this was a thought experiment requiring impossibly precise clocks. The principle was OK….
The TESS Science Conference I will be the first conference dedicated to TESS mission science, including exoplanets, asteroseismology, stellar binaries, variable stars, Solar System science (e.g., asteroids and comets), extragalactic…
