Welcome to the StarXiv! A monthly podcast that delves into the latest astronomy papers & results from the arXiv.
Hosted by Michelle, Payel, and Nicole.
-
Episode 39 – data-driven stellar population studies, multi-scale AGN feedback, and solar flare ribbons
In this episode, Payel and Nicole discuss machine learning methods to to transform composite galaxy spectra and determine key features of galaxy evolution. They also examine new observations of the Centarus cluster with JWST, closing the loop on AGN feedback across multiple radial scales. Finally, they discuss new solar observations that shed new light on…
-
Episode 38 – merging galaxies, exploding stars and the beauty of individual galaxies
In this episode, Michelle and Nicole explore machine learning techniques for classifying merging galaxies and supernovae. They discuss planetary engulfment’s role in unusual chemical signatures in binary systems and analyse MUSE data of a spiral galaxy.

Episode 37 – Lunar craters, primordial black holes & growing galaxies
In this episode, Michelle and Payel talk about the asymmetry in the number of craters across the moon, using microlensing to find primordial black holes, tracing the growth of disk galaxies since z~1, and using machine learning to detect group galaxies merging with massive clusters. Listen below, on Apple podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get…

Episode 36 – Dead Earths, magnetic fields and Galactic amnesia
In this episode, Michelle and Nicole explore primordial magnetic fields, the memory of Galactic mergers, and the origins of Venus’s carbon dioxide atmosphere. They also examine how Galactic stars can help predict extragalactic abundances. Listeners can access the episode on various platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
The Hosts
Payel Das & Michelle Collins are astronomers at the University of Surrey. They love research, but struggle to find time to read a lot of papers. They’re hoping this podcast fixes that. Nicole Buckley is a PhD student at the University of Surrey. She loves reading papers!
