✨ Mapping the Cosmic Web's Largest Structures!
Explore the insightful review: "Galaxy Superclusters and Their Complexes in the Cosmic Web" by Maret Einasto. This review examines galaxy superclusters, the largest structures in the cosmic web. It discusses their properties and how their distribution in huge, perpendicular planes poses questions for cosmological models.

🔗 Read the full paper:

The richest and largest structures in the cosmic web are galaxy superclusters, their complexes (associations of several almost connected very rich superclusters), and planes. Superclusters represent a special environment where the evolution of galaxies and galaxy groups and clusters differs from the...

🌌 Black Hole Physics in Focus
Dive into the highly relevant paper: "Killing Horizons and Surface Gravities for a Well-Behaved Three-Function Generalization of the Kerr Spacetime" by Joshua Baines and Matt Visser.
This paper presents a generalization of Kerr spacetime using three functions, allowing it to fit a wide range of theoretical models. The authors prove the existence of Killing horizons and derive key properties like surface gravity for these tractable spacetimes.
🔗 Read the full paper:

Thanks to the recent advent of the event horizon telescope (EHT), we now have the opportunity to test the physical ramifications of the strong-field near-horizon regime for astrophysical black holes. Herein, emphasizing the trade-off between tractability and generality, the authors discuss a particu...

📣 Trending Article Alert! 🌟

Recent Advances in Understanding R-Process Nucleosynthesis in Metal-Poor Stars and Stellar Systems by Bandyopadhyay and Beers.

Read the highly popular review on how ancient stars reveal the sites of heavy element creation.

🔗

The rapid neutron-capture process (r-process) is responsible for the creation of roughly half of the elements heavier than iron, including precious metals like silver, gold, and platinum, as well as radioactive elements such as thorium and uranium.
