In his new paper, Professor Jonathan Tan, an astrophysicist at the University of Virginia and the Chalmers University of Technology, proposes that Population...
The first generation of stars (Population III) must have formed from the unenriched gas that permeated the infant Universe. These stars produced the first...
The Lyman-apha light from JADES-GS-z13-1 has taken nearly 13.47 billion years to reach us, as it dates back to just 330 million years after the Big Bang.
This...
Astronomers have discovered a pair of merging quasars seen only 900 million years after the Big Bang. Not only is this the most distant pair of merging...
The reionization of the Universe occurred some 500 to 900 million years after the Big Bang. It represents the transformation of neutral hydrogen into ionized...
During the first 500 million years of cosmic history, the first stars and galaxies formed, seeding the Universe with heavy elements and eventually reionizing...
Galaxies are strung along filaments in the vast cosmic web, which also contains enormous voids. Using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers...
Only a few hundred million years after the Big Bang, the infant Universe was brimming with opaque hydrogen gas that trapped light at some wavelengths from...
The newly-discovered black hole resides in the hyperluminous galaxy GN-z11 at a redshift of 11 and could have originated from a stellar mass seed at redshifts...
The newly-discovered galaxy, named RX J2129-z95, appears as three images due to the gravitational lensing of the foreground galaxy cluster RX J2129.6+0005....
New research led by the Swinburne University of Technology shows that the amount of warm carbon suddenly increased by a factor of five over a period of...
Ultramassive black holes with extreme masses of over 50 billion solar masses can be formed in the rare events that are multiple quasar mergers happening...
Astronomers say we may be witnessing a merger of two small galaxies just 400 million years after the Big Bang.
The galaxy cluster MACS0647 acts as a cosmic...
Astronomers from the University of Cambridge and elsewhere have analyzed the spectroscopic and photometric data from three instruments (NIRSpec, NIRISS...
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have detected water and carbon monoxide molecules in a larger member of SPT-S...
The newly-discovered quasar is located approximately 13.03 billion light-years away from Earth. Designated J031343.84-180636.4 (J0313-1806 for short),...
An international team of astronomers has discovered the second most distant quasar ever found. Named Pōniuā`ena and designated J100758.264+211529.207...
