Episode 25: Extragalactic exoplanets, simulating individual stars, and galaxy mergers as cosmic ray factories

This episode, Michelle, Payel, and Nicole discuss simulating individual stars, exoplanets born outside of the Milky Way, the intracluster medium as a window to past merging activity, the chemical versus kinematic thin and thick discs of the Milky Way, early formation of supermassive black holes, and galaxy mergers as cosmic ray sources.Check out the papers we discussed belowEDGE-INFERNO: How chemical enrichment assumptions impact the individual stars of a simulated ultra-faint dwarf galaxy - Eric AndersonSearching for Exoplanets Born Outside the Milky Way: VOYAGERS Survey Design - Robert AloisiThe Quiescent Merging Nature of the Coma Cluster Revealed by ICM Velocity Structure - Efrain GatuzzImpact of selection criteria on the structural parameters of the Galactic thin and thick discs - Simon AlinderEarly Formation of Supermassive Black Holes via Dark Star Gravitational Instability - Katherine FreeseGalaxy Mergers Collectively Illuminate the γ-Ray Sky - Jaya Doliya
