Black Holes as the Source of Dark Energy New research suggests that as our universe expands, black holes gain mass, and this connection between black holes and the universe's expansion is the source of dark energy. aasnova.org/2023/02/15/bla… UH Institute for Astronomy UChicago News U-M Physics

The entire original goal of ASAS-SN was to produce a minimally-biased SN survey to compute rates. It has been a crazy decade, but UH Institute for Astronomy grad student Dhvanil Desai has finally done it: arxiv.org/abs/2306.11100 Check it out if you want to see the best nearby SNe Ia rate to date.

(1 of 3) Surviving an apocalypse: A UH Institute for Astronomy-led team using two Maunakea Observatories, W. M. Keck Observatory & CFHT, has found an exoplanet named Halla that somehow escaped death when its sun Baekdu expanded into a red giant star. This, despite being just .5 AU from Baekdu! Details:
