Four graduate students bring you cutting-edge astronomy research, a space sound of the bi-weekly fortnight, and a volley of (semi) witty banter. https://astrosoundbites.com/episodes/

The more things change, the more they, uh, change. This ep covers events changing our night sky view. Cormac presents a star bullying a black hole accretion disc, Shashank, a persnickety pulsar, and Cole gets his pulsar music rant cut for time. astrosoundbites.com/2025/06/21/1... 🔭 #astronomy

In this episode, we say goodbye to one of our beloved hosts, Sabrina Berger. We look at the depths and breadths of Sabrina’s research experience, ask about her experience in 3 different countries and her advice for future grad students! astrosoundbites.com/2025/06/12/e... 🔭 #astronomy

In this episode, the (domestic) American sector of Astro[sound]bites covers the recent proposed budget cuts to NASA, the largest in its history. We cover the downsides that these cuts would have for science and the economy, and what you can do to speak out. 🔭 astrosoundbites.com/2025/05/24/e...

In this week's episode, Cormac, Cole and Lucia catch you up with all things Citizen Science. From scouting clumps to finding a new dwarf galaxy, we perambulate around some participatory projects. astrosoundbites.com/2025/05/10/e...

Stellar deaths can be rather violent - and sometimes premature. This week we discuss tidal disruption events and their connection extreme coronal lines. And we take a look at a superstar supernova remnant: the Crab Nebula. astrosoundbites.com/2025/04/27/e...

This week we talk about the big boy on cosmology campus: LCDM. What can't this model explain about the universe? Shashank gives a tour through galaxies' dark matter hearts and Cormac shows how 1500 (ish? Unclear on this one) supernovae may hint at a flaw in LCDM. astrosoundbites.com/2025/04/12/e...

If you’ve ever wondered how your favourite telescope, rover or probe made it into space, then wonder no more! From 5G space junk to magnetic masses, we lift the lid on the lifecycle of space missions by peering into a preponderance of proposals. astrosoundbites.com/2025/03/29/e...

Space weather isn't just solar storms! In this episode, we explore extreme temperatures in space, Venus' climate, galactic cold fronts, and the most underrated parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. astrosoundbites.com/2025/03/17/e...

A[S]B turns 100! For our ten squared-th ep, we tour astrophysics extremes: the heaviest and lightest, fastest and slowest, brightest and dimmest. To help us, we meet up with old friends to talk dark matter, exoplanets, and how ridiculously long a Ph.D. takes. astrosoundbites.com/2025/01/12/e...
