University of Sussex researchers have disproved the existence of a specific type of axion, an important candidate ‘dark matter’ particle, across a wide range of…
“By expanding our pulsar timing array over the next 10 years or so, there is a high likelihood of detecting gravitational waves from at least…
An international team of astronomers has found the first observational evidence for a contracting white dwarf. Constant high spin-up rate of a star of this…
Astronomers provide new insights into the stellar explosions that formed most of these elements in the Perseus galaxy cluster. Before its brief mission ended unexpectedly…
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has uncovered the never-before-seen close encounter between two astoundingly bright and spectacularly massive galaxies in the early universe. These…
A New survey of fast-spinning pulsar stars offers a better estimate of when astronomers will first detect gravitational waves from merging supermassive black holes. Astronomers…
Astronomers have discovered a record-breaking bubble of ionized gas. Measuring more than 300,000 light-years across, three times the diameter of the Milky Way, this colorful…
Scientists reveal that laser-produced plasma can provide insight into bursts of subatomic particles that occur in deep space. Such findings could help scientists understand cosmic…
A group of astronomers in Brazilian universities and research institutions observed a star demoted to white dwarf status because of companion. A group of Brazilian…
Black holes make for a great space mystery. They’re so massive that nothing, not even light, can escape a black hole once it gets close…
Astronomers found a rich molecular reservoir in the heart of an active star-forming galaxy with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). Among eight clouds identified…
Astronomers observe a binary neutron star merger through gravitational waves detected by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. On August 17, the Laser Interferometry…
ESO’s Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS) instrument at has found its first exoplanet, a hot Jupiter orbiting an M-dwarf star now named NGTS-1. The planet,…
Using NASA’s NuSTAR Space Telescope and the William Herschel Observatory, astronomers have been able to measure the distance that particles in jets travel before they…
Astronomers have succeeded in measuring precisely the distance to a source on the other side of the galaxy, a region that has so far been…
Astronomers recently discovered that spots on the surface of supergiant star Zeta Puppis are driving huge spiral structures in its stellar wind. Massive stars are…
Using the Very Long Baseline Array, astronomers achieve record measurement for an improved picture of the Milky Way. Astronomers from the Max Planck Institute for…
