Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have discovered two heavily dust-obscured star-forming galaxies — REBELS-12-2...
Massive galaxies in the early Universe should have contained large amounts of cold molecular gas, the fuel required to make stars. But new observations...
The 490-light-year-wide void is located among the constellations Perseus and Taurus, and was formed by one powerful supernova or a series of such events...
Until now, it has been unclear what created gamma-rays that appear in patches of seemingly ‘empty sky.’
Roth et al. present a calculation of the contribution...
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have found thousands of dense gas clumps but, surprisingly, no star formation,...
Using spectral data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), the Chandra Source Catalog 2.0, and the Chandra COSMOS Legacy survey, astronomers have found...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have measured the metallicity of the neutral interstellar medium towards 25 bright stars in our Milky...
Ultradiffuse galaxies are dwarf galaxies whose stars are spread out over a vast region, resulting in extremely low brightness, making them very difficult...
Using the Dark Energy Camera (DEC) on the Víctor M. Blanco 4-m Telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile, astronomers have obtained...
By combining gravitational lensing with the capabilities of NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have detected two X-ray-emitting objects —...
