  1. Nothing, just a lot of beautiful radio galaxies observed with by the LOTSS survey with #LOFAR, in this latest paper on #astroph by Horton et al.

    "Complex morphology and precession indicators of AGN jets in
    LoTSS DR2"

    arxiv.org/pdf/2504.18518

  2. #paperday alert 💥
    "Intergalactic medium rotation measure of primordial magnetic fields" by Salomé Mtchedlidze (post-doc in my group) et al.
    today on #astroph and submitteed to ApJ
    arxiv.org/pdf/2406.16230
    It presents extended new simulations of different possible primordial models for cosmic magnetic fields (scale invariant, uniform or causally generated) and compares their prediction for the intergrated Faraday Rotation up to large redshift.

    ⭐️ Best Star Wars-themed Astro Acronym of the Year, in the Dark Side Category ⭐️

    For a system that verifies or refutes exoplanets:

  4. I you are into #XrayAstronomy tonight's batch of #Astroph preprints at arxiv.org/list/astro-ph/new will leave you sleepless ... as there are tons of papers on #eROSITA results included. The reason for this deluge is eROSITA's first Data Release today at 9:00 UTC: scicomm.xyz/@MPE_Garching@soci

  5. Cool on #astroph this morning:

    "A Fast Radio Burst in a Compact Galaxy Group at z ∼ 1" by Gordon+

    arxiv.org/abs/2311.10815

    in which they use deep Hubble Space Telescope observations to characterize the environment of the galaxy group at z~1, where a Fast Radio Burst is likely to be located.

  6. arxiv.org/abs/2211.09097
    A spectroscopically confirmed protocluster 650 million years after the Big Bang, located behind Abell 2744 (Pandora's Cluster)

    The highest redshift spectroscopically confirmed protocluster to date, demonstrating the power of #JWST to probe the universe at very early times.
