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 43 – early dark energy, the fate of Venusian moons, and the power of forbidden lines
In this episode, Michelle and Payel discuss whether early dark energy impacts large-scale structures and explore the possibility of Venus having a moon. They review papers on forbidden line emissions and galaxy evolution, including studies on extremely metal-poor galaxies. Listen on various platforms.
-
Episode 42 – disk clumps, triple systems and an exciting new stream!
Michelle and Nicole review recent arXiv papers, highlighting significant findings such as a globular cluster stream outside the Milky Way, disk clump migration in galaxies, a unique pulsar triple system, and a peculiar metal-poor star in the Milky Way disk. Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your preferred platform.

Episode 35 – More Milky Way mayhem, Fast Radio Bursts, and very cold disks
In this podcast episode, Michelle and Payel explore fascinating astronomical topics, including high redshift UV bright galaxies, Population III stars, black hole binaries, pulsars in Omega Centauri, and the potential merger of the Milky Way and Andromeda.
-
Episode 34 – The cosmic web, the ancient Milky Way, and planets around small stars
In this podcast episode, Michelle and Payel explore fascinating astronomical topics, including high redshift UV bright galaxies, Population III stars, black hole binaries, pulsars in Omega Centauri, and the potential merger of the Milky Way and Andromeda.

Episode 32 – Ancient star clusters and growing black holes
In this episode, Michelle and Nicole discuss the role of stars from ancient globular clusters in the Milky Way’s stellar halo. They also explore research on forming massive black hole seeds within small dwarf galaxies. Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your preferred platform for more insights.
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!
