Episode notes
In this episode of The Starxiv, Michelle and Payel discuss a revised distance for the controversial ultra-diffuse galaxy, DF2; a discovery of a supermassive black hole in an ultra compact dwarf; 2 galaxies hiding in plain sight; and how statistical mechanics may help with dark matter's cusp-core problem. Michelle and Payel also have to put up with slightly inferior audio quality as the undergraduates reclaimed their recording equipment!
