Something is amiss in the Butterfly Nebula. When astronomers compared images from 2009 & 2020, they saw dramatic changes in its "wings." Powerful winds are driving complex alterations of nebular material. It's unknown how such activity is possible in what should be a “largely moribund star with no remaining fuel.”

The seven-year photobomb: Distant star’s dimming was likely a ‘dusty’ companion getting in the way, astronomers say
University of Washington

Astronomers discovered that the star Gaia17bpp gradually brightened over a 2 1/2-year period. But follow-up analyses revealed that the star itself wasn’t changing. Instead, it's likely part of a rare type of binary system. Its apparent brightening was the end of a years-long eclipse by an unusual, "dusty" stellar companion.

Es la primera vez que se observa en longitudes de onda múltiples a dos mastodontes hambrientos como estos tan cerca el uno del otro. El estudio también reveló que los agujeros negros binarios y las galaxias en colisión que los originan pueden ser fenómenos sorprendentemente comunes en el Universo.

ALMA Scientists Find Pair of Black Holes Dining Together in Nearby Galaxy Merger
National Radio Astronomy Observatory

While studying a nearby pair of merging galaxies using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA)— an international observatory co-operated by the U.S. National Science Foundation’s National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO)— scientists discovered two supermassive black holes growing simultaneously near the center of the newly coalescing galaxy. These super-hungry giants are the closest together that scientists have ever observed in multiple wavelengths. What’s more, the new research reveals that binary black holes and the galaxy mergers that create them may be surprisingly commonplace in the Universe. The results of the new research were published today in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, and presented in a press conference at the 241st meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) in Seattle, Washington.

Mientras usaba el Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) para estudiar los máseres presentes alrededor de la inusual estrella MWC 349A, un equipo científico descubrió algo inesperado: un desconocido chorro de material emanando del disco de gas de la estrella a velocidades inverosímiles. Se cree, además, que el chorro es generado por intensas fuerzas magnéticas presentes alrededor de la estrella. El hallazgo podría ayudar a la comunidad científica a entender la naturaleza y la evolución de las estrellas masivas, y entender cómo los máseres de hidrógeno se forman en el espacio.

While using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to study the masers around oddball star MWC 349A scientists discovered something unexpected: a previously unseen jet of material launching from the star’s gas disk at impossibly high speeds. What’s more, they believe the jet is caused by strong magnetic forces surrounding the star. The discovery could help researchers to understand the nature and evolution of massive stars and how hydrogen masers are formed in space. The new observations were presented today in a press conference at the 241st meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) in Seattle, Washington.

Las ondas de choque generadas por la violenta colisión entre una galaxia intrusa y el Quinteto de Stephan están ayudando a la comunidad astronómica a entender cómo la turbulencia incide en el gas presente en el medio intergaláctico. Las nuevas observaciones realizadas con el Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) y el telescopio espacial James Webb revelaron que una explosión sónica varias veces más grande que la Vía Láctea dio origen a un proceso de reciclaje de gas de hidrógeno molecular frío y caliente. También se observó la desintegración de una nube gigante que se convirtió en una niebla de gas caliente, así como la posible colisión de dos nubes que dejaron una mancha de gas caliente a su alrededor y la formación de una nueva galaxia. Los resultados de estas observaciones se presentaron hoy durante una conferencia de prensa en la asamblea n.o 241 de la Sociedad Astronómica de Estados Unidos (AAS, en su sigla en inglés) en Seattle (Washington, Estados Unidos).

ALMA and JWST Reveal Galactic Shock is Shaping Stephan’s Quintet in Mysterious Ways
National Radio Astronomy Observatory

Shockwaves resulting from the violent collision between an intruder galaxy and Stephan’s Quintet are helping astronomers to understand how turbulence influences gas in the intergalactic medium. New observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed that a sonic boom several times the size of the Milky Way has kickstarted a recycling plant for warm and cold molecular hydrogen gas. What’s more, scientists uncovered the break-up of a giant cloud into a fog of warm gas, the possible collision of two clouds forming a splash of warm gas around them, and the formation of a new galaxy. The observations were presented today in a press conference at the 241st meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) in Seattle, Washington.

At the 183rd ASA Meeting, Kenton Hummel will describe how soundscape research in day cares can improve child and provider outcomes and experiences. He and his team collaborated with experts in engineering, sensing, early child care, and health to monitor three day care centers for 48-hour periods. High noise levels and long periods of loud fluctuating sound can negatively impact children and staff by increasing the effort it takes to communicate. In contrast, a low background noise level allows for meaningful speech, which is essential for language, brain, cognitive, and social/emotional development.
