Arriving in your ears on February 10th, our latest installment includes transfer learning to detect low surface brightness galaxies, hot and cold gas accretion, an unusual finding in a filament, details of our proto-Galaxy, and the search for intelligent life!

Papers discussed this month:

DES to HSC: Detecting low surface brightness galaxies in the Abell 194 cluster using transfer learning – Thuruthipilly et al.

Gas accretion at high redshift: cold flows all the way – Waterval et al.

Pearls on a string: Dark and bright galaxies on a strikingly straight and narrow filament – Arabsalmani et al.

Discovery of A Starburst in the Early Milky Way at [Fe/H] <−2 – Chen et al.

The Local Galactic Transient Survey Applied to an Optical Search for Directed Intelligence – Thomas et al.
