3C 297 is located about 9.2 billion light-years away in the constellation of Virgo and contains a quasar, a supermassive black hole pulling in gas at the...
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) come in two varieties, long and short. Long GRBs, which last a couple of seconds to one minute, form when a star at least 10 times...
Gaia BH1 has a mass of 9.62 times the mass of the Sun and is orbited by a bright Sun-like star at about the same distance as our planet orbits the Sun....
The very first stars likely formed when the Universe was only 100 million years old. Known as Population III stars, these stellar objects were so massive...
R136a1 has a mass between 170 and 230 solar masses, according to an analysis of optical data from the speckle imager Zorro mounted on the 8.1-m Gemini...
Astronomers using the Gemini North telescope, one of the twin telescopes of the International Gemini Observatory, have captured a stunning image of a pair...
Astronomers have discovered a new ultra-faint dwarf galaxy in the constellation of Pegasus and characterized it using deep imaging with the Gemini Multi-Object...
Astronomers using the Gemini Planet Imager instrument at the Gemini South telescope in Chile have imaged a sample of 44 bright Herbig Ae/Be and T-Tauri...
Using data from ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope, the Subaru Telescope, the Keck Telescope, the Gemini South and North...
Astronomers using the Gemini North telescope have captured this vivid image of the strangely lopsided spiral galaxy NGC 772.
The overdeveloped spiral arm...
Using the Gemini Multi-conjugate Adaptive Optics System (GeMS) and the Gemini South Adaptive Optics Imager (GSAOI) on the 8.1-m Gemini South telescope...
Named C-19, the newly-discovered stellar stream is the remnant of an ancient globular cluster and contains stars with extremely low metallicity, with a...
Astronomers using the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) on Gemini South telescope have imaged the Chamaeleon Infrared Nebula, which is located near...
Using the Immersion GRating INfrared Spectrometer (IGRINS) at the Gemini South Observatory on Cerro Pachon, Chile, astronomers have measured carbon-to-hydrogen...
Most known supernova-powered gamma-ray bursts are ‘long’ (lasting more than two seconds), but a gamma-ray burst event called GRB 200826A lasted just...
A team of astronomers from the United Kingdom and the United States has examined six of the most distant galaxies currently known and found that the distance...
Three images of Jupiter from the 8-m Frederick C. Gillett Gemini North telescope at the Gemini Observatory and the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope show...
Using the Arecibo and Gemini observatories, astronomers have detected a mobile supermassive black hole in a galaxy called SDSS J043703.67+245606.8 (hereafter...
The newly-discovered quasar is located approximately 13.03 billion light-years away from Earth. Designated J031343.84-180636.4 (J0313-1806 for short),...
Astronomers using the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) radio telescope have discovered a new brown dwarf, a substellar object not quite massive enough to fuse...
