New research from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics reveals that the correlation between a galaxy’s stellar mass and star formation rate is a tight one….
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) has made a third detection of gravitational waves, ripples in space and time, demonstrating that a new window in…
By comparing theoretical models to Chandra surveys and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, astronomers have found evidence that the very earliest supermassive black holes in…
An international team of astronomers show that a giant gas planet – up to 50x the mass of Jupiter, encircled by a ring of dust…
A team of astronomers has put a basic principle of black holes to the test, showing that matter completely vanishes when pulled in. Their results…
A new NASA mission is headed for the International Space Station next month to observe one of the strangest observable objects in the universe. The…
Using data from the Large Binocular Telescope and NASA’s Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, astronomers watched as a dying star was likely reborn as a…
Scientists reveal that planet-sized bodies can form a new, much larger structure called a synestia – an indented disk rather like a red blood cell…
Using the Hornet and SuperMUC supercomputers in Germany and a state-of-the-art code, a team of scientists has helped uncover the history of the galaxy. Thousands…
In a newly published study led by Australian National University, astrophysicists reveal how most of the antimatter in the Milky Way forms. Antimatter is material…
Researchers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics present new models of star-forming filamentary clouds in order to quantify their properties and to predict their evolution….
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international team of astronomers has made the first complete millimeter-wavelength image of the ring of dusty debris…
A newly published Harvard study on similar galaxies whose central active black hole nucleus is obscured has concluded that accreting streams of material into the…
Astronomers have discovered a potential recoiling supermassive black hole (CXO J101527.2+625911). This recoiling black hole candidate is located about 3.9 billion light-years from Earth. Supermassive…
An international group of astrophysicists try to find out how strong the “gravitational noise” from the Milky Way is. It is widely known that our…
Using the separate universe simulations technique, researchers reveal some of the most precise measurements of the local bias – confirming the known trend that more…
In a newly published study, astronomers describe the planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system as being in something called a “resonant chain,” which strongly stabilizes the…
