Using elaborate computer simulations, researchers show how radioactive elements in gaseous supernova remnant Cassiopeia A can provide glimpses into the explosion of massive stars. Stars…
Chandra reveals that the X-ray emission from Pluto is as strong as that coming from solar system objects with much more substantial atmospheres. Pluto is…
A team of scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics reveal that hidden dimensions – as predicted by string theory – could influence…
Using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), a team of astronomers has made the first detection of orbital motion in a pair of supermassive black…
New Chandra data has revealed 25 bright point-like X-ray sources in Arp 299, 14 of which are categorized as “ULXs”. These ULXs are likely binary…
A new analysis of eighteen thousand colliding galaxies reveals that mergers like the one in galaxy NGC 4676 are the dominant mechanism for determining the…
The European Space Agency (ESA) has selected the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) for its third large-class mission in the agency’s Cosmic Vision science program….
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, a team of astronomers has discovered the first example of a compact yet massive, fast-spinning, disk-shaped galaxy that stopped making…
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), a team of astronomers has discovered a surprisingly weak and wildly disorganized magnetic field very near a newly…
Using a radio survey of a giant molecular cloud filled with recently formed stars and a mathematical model that can explain the observations, astronomers…
By successfully simulated the conditions around black holes using a specially designed water bath, a team of astronomers has made a significant leap forward in…
Using observations from NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), scientists at the University of Texas San Antonio found that the dust surrounding active, ravenous…
Using Chandra, a team of astronomers has found that the nuclear region emitting hard X-rays in galaxy ESO 428-G014 is more than ten times larger…
(Article translated to English) Astronomers from the University of Amsterdam have developed a model to explain the formation of planetary system Trappist-1 and other compact…
Using ALMA, astronomers have found traces of methyl isocyanate — a chemical building block of life – around Sun-like stars at a very early stage…
Chandra has observed the R Aquarii system many times over the last 17 years, helping astronomers better understand how this volatile stellar pair interacts with…
A Nearby white dwarf star helps confirm Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and the history and evolution of galaxies such as our own. Albert Einstein…
