Attacking the (Multi-)Messenger: Simulating a Kilonova
Neutron stars (NSs) are the most extreme objects known, composed of a form of matter so extraordinarily dense that it teeters on the brink of collapse into a black hole.

Plasma jets, emerging from a galaxy’s central black hole, sometimes bend in the same direction, forming head-tail structures. A recent study investigated two such galaxies found in unexpectedly close proximity, resembling a peculiar ‘dancing ghost’-like structure in the sky.
Even though the Sun is the nearest star to us, there’s a lot we still don’t understand about it and its activity. These authors present an interesting case of a unique type of solar radio emission occurring under conditions it doesn’t normally do so.
