An international research team including astronomers from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR) in Bonn determined with extremely high precision that gravity causes neutron stars and white dwarf stars to fall with equal accelerations. They did this by precisely tracking the motion of pulsar PSR J0337+1715, a neutron star that is a member of an unusual triple star system.

Methan in der Marsatmosphäre entsteht aus Meteoriten, die dort starker UV-Strahlung ausgesetzt sind, wie Forscher um F. Keppler am Max-Planck-Institut für Chemie in Untersuchungen festgestellt haben. Sie entkräften damit die Vermutung, die Methanquelle könnten Lebewesen auf dem Mars sein.

Most of Saturn’s 62 moons orbit their giant planet at a great distance outside the main rings. Only slightly more than a handful of small, irregularly shaped bodies, so-called ring moons, are an exception. In the final months of NASA’s Cassini mission, the space probe was able to take the most accurate look yet at five of these bizarre, partly ravioli-shaped bodies and the space environment to which they are exposed. The results of these measurements are presented an article published this week in the journal Science by a team of researchers including the Max Planck Intitute for Solar System Research (MPS) in Germany. Shape, density, surface texture, and composition as well as the distribution of charged particles in the environment allow conclusions about the evolution of the ring moons. Monitoring of the moons’ charged particle environment yielded a surprise: a tightly confined accumulation of high energy electrons that forms a previously unknown micro-radiation belt in the region of the planet’s F ring.

An international team of astronomers has produced a new catalog of 294 gamma-ray emitting pulsars discovered in data from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, plus 34 suspects awaiting confirmation. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) in Hannover, Germany, contributed 53 pulsars to the catalog.

With the Digital Markets Act, the EU Commission wants to limit the market power of tech giants such as Google, Apple, Facebook/Meta, Amazon or Microsoft and protect competition in the European market. In an interview, Heiko Richter, Senior Research Fellow for Digitalization and Competition Law at the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition explains the goals of the planned regulation, which is currently being negotiated.
For example, the EU Commission has the power to fine service providers up to 20 per
