📡"This is yet another case in astronomy where, although we do not resolve the emission, we can predict what is happening at very small scales, and this time is only possible due to ALMA's sensitivity." H. Messias /ALMA/ and co-author of this article.

We have signed joint proposal agreements with @spacetelescope James Webb,
@ESO VLT, and @NRAO VLA. The astronomical community can present a single proposal to ALMA and thus obtain observation time in up to 4 observatories. almaobservatory.org/four-telescope

We were so busy at #AAS241 last week that we didn't have time to share a Radio #ImageoftheWeek - so here it is, belated! 📡
NGC 1097 is a barred spiral galaxy similar to the Milky Way. Shown here is a composite image of visible light ()
and radio light ().

📡 New Method to Weigh Protoplanetary Disks. Astronomers have found a way to directly measure the amount of gas in protoplanetary disks.
Planets form in these disks of gas and dust around young stars.

📡🌀Throwback 2022: Why did we see M87* first, not SgrA*? SgrA* is much smaller than M87*. The brightness and pattern of the gas around SgrA* was changing rapidly as the EHT was observing it a bit like trying to take a clear picture of a puppy🐕 quickly chasing its tail.

✨Hot spots around young binary stars detected. These regions are not only being heated by protostars, but also by shock waves. These can help to enrich the gas in the disk with complex organic molecules almaobservatory.org/hotspots-found
