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…
Scientists studying V Hydrae (V Hya) have witnessed the star’s mysterious death throes in unprecedented detail. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and data…
Scientists using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) made a rare detection of a likely stellar…
For the first time, astronomers have detected a newborn star and the surrounding cocoon of complex organic molecules at the edge of our Galaxy, which…
Unlike our Sun, most stars live with a companion. Sometimes, two come so close that one engulfs the other – with far-reaching consequences. When a…
A Cosmic Whodunit: ALMA Study Confirms What’s Robbing Galaxies of Their Star-Forming Gas VERTICO Survey unmasks violent environments as culprit in mass galaxy quenching mystery….
A new discovery is shedding light on how fluorine — an element found in our bones and teeth as fluoride — is forged in the…
New study marks most distant detection of required element for life as we know it in a regular star-forming galaxy. Water has been detected in…
At ALMA, we are celebrating doubly: on the one hand, October is the month of Science in Chile, and, on the other, we commemorate in…
