An international research team used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to observe the triple protostar system IRAS 04239+2436, to investigate the detailed structure of…
A spectacular new image released by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) gives us clues about how planets as massive as Jupiter could form. Using ESO’s…
Astronomers have detected a debris cloud that could indicate a ‘sibling’ planet sharing the orbit of an existing planet around a distant star, using the…
Scientists using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have identified the sites of star formation and a possible site of star death in a galaxy…
Using the ALMA observatory, scientists studying the protoplanetary disk around young star HD 169142 have discovered strong chemical evidence of a protoplanet, offering a new…
Millimeter-VLBI image of the jet and the black hole shadow in Messier 87, obtained with the GMVA array including ALMA, the Greenland Telescope, and the…
Once a star evolves beyond the main sequence – the longest stage of stellar evolution, during which the radiation generated by nuclear fusion in a…
In a historic first, astronomers have simultaneously imaged the shadow and jet of the supermassive black hole in galaxy M87, providing new insights into how…
ALMA Traces History of Water in Planet Formation Back to the Interstellar Medium Observations of water in the disk forming around protostar V883 Ori have…
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have detected gaseous water in the planet-forming disc around the star V883 Orionis. This water carries a…
A new study led by a joint team at Nagoya University and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan has measured the cosmic age of a…
ALMA and Webb Reveal Galactic Shock is Shaping Stephan’s Quintet in Mysterious Ways Shockwaves resulting from the violent collision between an intruder galaxy and Stephan’s…
This stunning image clearly displays the well-defined arms of the spiral galaxy NGC 4254, also known as the Coma Pinwheel or Messier 99. Because of…
The flash is one of the most energetic short-duration gamma-ray bursts ever observed. For the first time, researchers have captured millimeter-wavelength light from an intense…
Astronomers detect the most distant galaxy rotation ever, suggesting an initial stage of rotational motion development. Astronomers have been able to detect more and more…
Astronomers have just discovered an unknown structure in a galaxy that had been hidden in the “shadows.” They accomplished this by extending the dynamic range…
Nearly half of Sun-like stars are binary. According to new research, planetary systems around binary stars may be very different from those around single stars….
Today, at simultaneous press conferences around the world, including at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) headquarters in Germany, astronomers have unveiled the first image of…
