Short gamma ray bursts are caused by the merger of two neutron stars. However, not all short gamma-ray bursts are associated with galaxies. In this podcast, Brendan O’connor, described recent research into the host galaxies of short gamma-ray bursts.
Using archival data from the Gemini North telescope, a team of astronomers have measured the heaviest pair of supermassive black holes ever found.
Gemini North, one half of the International Gemini Observatory operated by NSF’s NOIRLab, is now peering deeper into the dusty dwellings of young stars with its new IGRINS-2 instrument

have captured the eroding remains of more than 100 dwarf galaxies as they transition into ultra-compact dwarf galaxies. Today podcast will discuss about the formation of ultra compact dwarf galaxies.
Astronomers have long sought to map the night skies that can help scientists spot broad patterns across a population of objects, put new discoveries such as transient events in the context of their surroundings, and identify the best candidates for focused observations. And here’s The Siena Galaxy Atlas Project.
Today’s NOIRLab Astro discuss about a new supernova event from Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients class that more powerful than the average supernova.
Magnetars has the record of the strongest magnetic fields of any object. How magnetars form and produce such colossal magnetic fields remains a mystery.
Backyard Worlds Cool Neighbors, enlists the public to help identify brown dwarfs from data taken by the NASA Wide Field Infrared Explorer (WISE) satellite. Today podcast will talk about this new project and how the public can help find these elusive brown dwarfs.
