By combining gravitational lensing with the capabilities of NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have detected two X-ray-emitting objects —...
In a new theoretical paper, researchers from the Santa Fe Institute provide a new perspective on the origin of life by arguing that life has emerged many...
Astronomers using CSIRO’s Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope, a radio telescope situated about 800 km north of Perth, in...
Astronomers using data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope have looked for dust-extinguished supernovae in the nuclear regions of 40 luminous and ultra-luminous...
Black holes are famously compact objects where the paths of light are drastically bent by the curvature of space-time. While light itself cannot escape...
Astronomers using NSF’s Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in the United States and by the Virgo detector in Italy have observed...
Singularities play an interesting role in physics, and come in many different varieties, from the mathematically and philosophically challenging to the...
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...
Astrophysical observations show that supermassive black holes exist when the Universe is just 800 million years old after the Big Bang (just 6% of its...
In a new study, astronomers used data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to calculate a more accurate distance to an ultra-diffuse galaxy called...
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have detected a galactic-scale supermassive black hole-driven wind in HSC J124353.93+010038.5...
An international team of astronomers from the United States and the United Kingdom has made the discovery of a giant, almost symmetrical arc of galaxies...
Cosmic filaments are cylindrical tendrils of matter hundreds of millions of light-years across. In new research, published in the journal Nature Astronomy,...
A team of radio astronomers using CSIRO’s Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) has mapped the entire area of the Stellar Continuum Originating from Radio...
Quark-gluon plasma is a state of dense matter with the quarks and gluons being its constituents. Soon after the Big Bang the matter was just in such a...
A team of astrophysicists from the United States and Korea has created a new dark-matter distribution map using a neural network-based deep learning method...
The star-forming disk galaxy with a two-armed spiral morphology, named BRI 1335-0417, existed when the Universe was just 1.4 billion years old.
ALMA detected...
