The development of X-ray free-electron lasers has enabled new experiments for studying uncrystallized biomolecules that were previously infeasible with traditional X-ray sources.

The study of super-Eddington accretion is essential to our understanding of the growth of super-massive black holes in the early universe, the accretion of tidally disrupted stars, and the nature of ultraluminous X-ray sources.

Hypervelocity Stars Dr. Warren R. Brown, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Hypervelocity stars are ejected by the Galaxy's central massive black hole at speeds that exceed Galactic escape velocity. We discovered the first hypervelocity star in 2005, and have since found many …

Starbursts & Supernovae: Nature’s High Energy Particle Accelerator? Jay Gallagher, Department of Astronomy, UW-Madison The Milky Way is permeated by high-energy hadronic and leptonic cosmic rays that connect to interstellar magnetic fields and interact with interstellar gas. Although shocks in …
