Researchers have developed a new method to identify whether black hole mergers occurred inside dense clouds of dark matter, potentially opening a fresh...
New research by astronomers from the University of California, Riverside, Sam Houston State University and the University of Oklahoma suggests decaying...
New research by Professor Enrique Gaztañaga from the University of Portsmouth and the Institute of Space Sciences in Barcelona suggests some black holes...
The new dark galaxy candidate is dominated by dark matter and nearly devoid of light. Named Candidate Dark Galaxy-2 (CDG-2), the object consists of four...
For decades, the motions of stars near the center of our Milky Way Galaxy have been treated as some of the clearest evidence for a supermassive black hole....
Using ultra-sharp imaging from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have produced an extremely detailed, wide-area map of mass in the...
Dark matter may not have been ‘cold’ in the earliest moments after the Big Bang, as long believed; instead, new research from the University of Minnesota...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have confirmed the existence of starless, hydrogen-rich objects dominated by dark matter. Named Reionization-Limited...
The Galactic Center excess is an unexpected concentration of gamma-rays emerging from the center of our Milky Way Galaxy.
This view shows the entire sky...
Dark dwarfs are hypothetical dark matter-powered objects that formed from the cooling of brown dwarfs, according to a team of astronomers from Durham University,...
A new study by University of California, San Diego computational astrophysicist Ethan Nadler shows that star formation can occur in halos down to 10 million...
2MASX J23453268-0449256 (J2345-0449 for short), an extremely massive, rapidly rotating, jet-launching spiral galaxy approximately 947 million light-years...
A core-collapsing self-interacting dark matter subhalo is responsible for the peculiar spur and gap features observed in GD-1, a stellar stream within...
Dark energy — an unknown energy source that is causing our Universe’s expansion to accelerate – doesn’t actually exist, according to new research.
This...
Using a catalog of 26,041 white dwarfs observed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, astronomers have confirmed a long-predicted effect in these ancient ultradense...
The standard model predicted that the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope would see dim signals from small, primitive galaxies. But data are not confirming...
Primordial black holes are one of the strongest candidates for the Universe’s dark matter. In this scenario, their abundance would be large enough for...
The two galaxy clusters, known collectivity as MACS J0018.5+1626, each contain thousands of galaxies and are located billions of light-years away from...
