Matching high-redshift galaxy counts with ΛCDM Nat. Astron. (IF 12.9) Pub Date : 2025-01-23 Lindsay Oldham
JWST’s revelation of a significant population of bright galaxies out to redshift z ~ 12 is contrary to expectations based on earlier galaxy surveys and so may present a challenge to the ΛCDM cosmological model. Shengdong Lu and colleagues compare galaxy evolution models with observations to demonstrate that this tension can be resolved by allowing greater astrophysical complexity at high redshift.

Oceans under the light of moribund stars Nat. Astron. (IF 12.9) Pub Date : 2025-01-23 Luca Maltagliati
A low-mass star goes through substantial upheaval after it leaves the main sequence and before settling as a white dwarf. Such changes reorganize the architecture of its planetary system completely: the inner part can be engulfed by the star itself during its red giant phase, and the stellar mass loss during the asymptotic giant phase can induce dynamical instabilities, triggering migration of outer

Distribution of photospheric swirls Nat. Astron. (IF 12.9) Pub Date : 2025-01-23 Bishwanath Gaire
Photospheric swirls mediate the transfer and conversion of energy within the Sun. These swirls are identified in photospheric observations by algorithm-based methods but their spatial distribution in different solar regimes remains unclear. In a recent study, Quan Xie and colleagues analyse a dataset of photospheric images and find 8,424 small-scale swirls that are concentrated along the inter-mesogranular

Pulsar searchlights probe Galactic structure Nat. Astron. (IF 12.9) Pub Date : 2024-12-19 Paul Woods
The radio emission from pulsars can scatter from inhomogeneities in the charged particle distribution in the interstellar medium (ISM) in a process called scintillation. The interference caused by this scattering creates bright peaks in a pulsar’s dynamic spectrum, yielding a characteristic ‘scintillation bandwidth’ that depends on density enhancements in the ISM along the line of sight to the pulsar

Are LLMs ready to do astronomy? Nat. Astron. (IF 12.9) Pub Date : 2024-12-16 Lindsay Oldham
As modern astronomy matures, individual researchers are becoming increasingly specialized, often at the expense of detailed knowledge in other fields; meanwhile, the dissemination of the vast datasets being collected by today’s telescopes is limited by the work hours available in the research community. The recent and rapid development of large language models (LLMs) may present a solution to both

Shown here is the circumstellar environment, as seen in the near-infrared (2.2 μm), of a massive star in another galaxy: WOH G64 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The central ellipse is likely to be an opaque, dusty cocoon surrounding the extreme red supergiant. The faint elliptical structures around the central object might correspond to the inner rim of a circumstellar disk or torus. This image may

Higher iron yield in massive stars Nat. Astron. (IF 12.9) Pub Date : 2024-12-16 Bishwanath Gaire
Iron-60 and aluminium-26 are unique chemical isotopes produced by stellar nucleosynthesis in our Galaxy and beyond. The ratio of these isotopes is a key parameter in understanding stellar evolution, but there is a known discrepancy between the value obtained from gamma-ray telescopes and that predicted by supernova models. Recently Artemis Spyrou and colleagues reported a cross-section of the neutron-capture

The carbon/oxygen (C/O) ratio in exoplanetary atmospheres is often used as a diagnostic tool for the formation history of giant planets. Chih-Chun Hsu and colleagues measure the C/O ratio of the protoplanet PDS 70 b, which is still embedded in the cavity of its protoplanetary disc and thus allows us, together with the other protoplanet PDS 70 c, to test our theories of in situ planetary formation directly
