The effects of bar strength and kinematics on galaxy evolution: slow strong bars affect their hosts the most
We study how bar strength and bar kinematics affect star formation in different regions of the bar by creating radial profiles of EW[H$α$] and D$_{\rm n}$4000 using data from SDSS-IV MaNGA. Bars in galaxies are classified as strong or weak using Galaxy Zoo DESI, and they are classified as fast and slow bars using the Tremaine-Weinberg method on stellar kinematic data from the MaNGA survey. In agreement with previous studies, we find that strong bars in star forming galaxies have enhanced star …

I feel like Kara Swisher is too in love with herself and her access to be an effective journalist. It doesn't help that she is the scion of a wealthy family and thus has much more in common with the billionaire class she is supposed to be grilling.

Why is a the NYT taking sources telling them Garland was doing the job the whole time, and doing their darndest to spin this into an anti-Garland story?

Soft X-ray prompt emission from a high-redshift gamma-ray burst EP240315a
Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are believed to originate from core collapse of massive stars. High-redshift GRBs can probe the star formation and reionization history of the early universe, but their detection remains rare. Here we report the detection of a GRB triggered in the 0.5--4 keV band by the Wide-field X-ray Telescope (WXT) on board the Einstein Probe (EP) mission, designated as EP240315a, whose bright peak was also detected by the Swift Burst Alert Telescope and Konus-Wind through off-l…
