Using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) telescope at CSIRO’s Murchison Radio-Astronomy Observatory, astronomers are searching for the elusive Epoch...
The newly-discovered supermassive black hole sits in the center of a ‘little red dot’ galaxy called CAPERS-LRD-z9 and is seen just 500 million years...
A supermassive black hole in the center of the radio quasar RACS J032021.44-352104.1 (RACS J0320-35 for short) is growing at one of the fastest rates ever...
In his new paper, Professor Jonathan Tan, an astrophysicist at the University of Virginia and the Chalmers University of Technology, proposes that Population...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have observed the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF), an area of deep space with nearly 10,000...
Low-density amorphous ice is one of the most common solid materials in the Universe and a key material for understanding the many famous anomalies of liquid...
As part of the CRISTAL (CII Resolved ISM in STar-forming galaxies with ALMA) survey, astronomers peered back to when the Universe was only about one billion...
Present-day disk galaxies often exhibit distinct thin and thick disks. The formation mechanisms of the two disks and the timing of their onset remain open...
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a major new scientific facility jointly funded by NSF and the U.S. DoE’s Office of Science. The new images are a small...
A new theory by University of Alaska Fairbanks scientist Gunther Kletetschka argues that time comes in three dimensions rather than just the single one...
The first generation of stars (Population III) must have formed from the unenriched gas that permeated the infant Universe. These stars produced the first...
Astronomers have used Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) to show that more than three-quarters of the Universe’s ordinary matter has been hiding in the thin gas...
Physicists from the Muon g-2 experiment have released their third measurement of the muon magnetic anomaly. The final result agrees with their published...
As part of the Chicago-Carnegie Hubble Program, astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have performed new measurements of the Hubble...
Intense radiation from a quasar in one of these galaxies alters the gas properties in the other galaxy and dampens its ability to form new stars, according...
In a 2023 paper, Professor Heino Falcke and his colleagues at Radboud University showed that not only black holes, but also all other objects in the Universe...
Since the Big Bang, the early Universe had hydrogen, helium, and a scant amount of lithium. Later, some heavier elements, including iron, were forged in...
The new theory, developed by physicists at Aalto University, describes gravity in a way that’s compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics,...
