As in most simulated cluster, the combination of minor and major accretions launches shock waves and boosts dynamo amplification at all times.
This is the evolving temperature and magnetic field in a plane crossing an upper half of it.

Hello #Astrodon

I'm a gravitational-wave astronomer researching the formation and evolution of black holes and neutron stars

I primarily work on LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA data analysis, inferring source properties, but I'm also interested in space-based observatories like LISA

I enjoy #SciComm (I want to get back into blogging https://cplberry.com/blog/), and I'm currently a member of the community-science Gravity Spy project https://gravityspy.org/

I also like cake

Behold: An image of neutrinos streaming from the black hole at the center of galaxy NGC 1068 (right). Neutrinos!
This is the first resolved image of a galaxy in neutrino "light," a milestone in probing the unseen universe. https://icecube.wisc.edu/news/press-releases/2022/11/icecube-neutrinos-give-us-first-glimpse-into-the-inner-depths-of-an-active-galaxy/
IceCube neutrinos give us first glimpse into the inner depths of an active galaxy

For the first time, an international team of scientists have found evidence of high-energy neutrino emission from NGC 1068, also known as Messier 77, an active galaxy in the constellation Cetus and one of the most familiar and well-studied galaxies to date. First spotted in 1780, this galaxy, located 47 million light-years away from us, ...

Hey #Astrodon folks! I see a lot of yous are migrating to the astrodon instance (and that's great) but PLEASE PLEASE keep using the #Astrodon hashtag somewhere in your posts as some of us might stay on more general servers and I STILL WANT TO FIND YOUR STUFF! 🖤✨

Have a Galactic Day!

Hello #astrodon! I feel like I just walked into a party, and I don’t know anyone. So here’s my #introduction: I’m an astronomer at UC Santa Cruz where I’m growing an astrobiology program and studying exoplanet demographics using data from Kepler, TESS, Keck, and JWST.

My #introduction post was so long ago that I've changed jobs and Tootsville has blown up, so #AllowMeToReintroduceMyself

Professionally, I'm an astronomer at Harvard & Smithsonian studying black holes at the dawn of time and working on the #Chandra X-Ray observatory. #Astronomy #Astrophysics #Astrodon

Personally, I like #running, #hiking, #climbing, #camping, etc.

Lately, I've been on a real big #PublicTransit #Rail #Transit kick on here -- #Trains and #Mastodon both go Toot Toot!

Greetings #astrodon world!

I am Matthias, I am director of the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) and professor at U Potsdam.

I love stars and galaxies, in particular Galactic archeology, galaxy formation, large surveys and big simulations.

Astronomy is not only very cool science, but also part of our culture, and I find science history fascinating.

I also enjoy doing astrophotography (www.astrobin.com/users/GalacticRAVE)

so to make it short: a space nerd.
