StarXiv: a podcast discussing the latest astronomy papers

In this episode, Michelle and Payel discuss the latest theories of little red dot formation, bursty star formation at high redshift, triple-double radio galaxies, where asteroids like Apophis come from, and how likely life might be around massive stars. Check out the episode below, on Spotify, Apple or wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode, Payel and Nicole delve into more JWST discoveries and the frontier of machine learning in astronomy - an ultra-deep view of the cosmic web, machine-learning deep images to look for mergers, a direct collapse black hole explanation to Little Red Dots, machine-learning the Milky Way to reveal complex star formation histories of accreted systems, and the earliest nuclear stellar disc observed to date. Check out the papers below.
An ultra-high-resolution map of (dark) matter - Diana Scognamiglio et al.
Convolutional Neural Networks for classifying galaxy mergers: Can faint tidal features aid in classifying mergers? - Yeonkyung Lee et al.
The Little Red Dots Are Direct Collapse Black Holes - Fabio Pacucci et al.
Two faces of Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus: Mining the chemical abundance space with graph attention networks - Milan Quandt-Rodriguez et al.
A nuclear disc at Cosmic Noon: evidence of early bar-driven galaxy evolution - Zoe A. Le Conte et al.

In this episode, Michelle and Nicole hit the arXiv and dig into the latest on Thamnos - an ancient Milky Way merger, carbon stars in the Large Magellanic Stars, Supernova Type Ia as cosmic probes, and a little red dot that isn't a little red dot.

In this episode, Michelle and Payel both dissect interesting results from varying stars, including follow up on Betelgeuse's elusive companion. They also talk about the imprints of digested and transiting stars on their hosts spectra, and an unusual lensing signal that could pose difficult questions for warm and cold dark matter.

This episode, Payel and Nicole discuss how to generate alpha-bimodalities in Milky-Way-like galaxies without major mergers or radial migration, a new search for radio emission from the elusive intermediate-mass black hole of Omega Centauri , detailed chemical DNA measurements of the oldest stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud, and searching for dwarfs using HI measurements.
Check out the papers we discussed below:
