Using adaptive mesh refinement, supercomputer simulation narrows axion mass range. Physicists searching — unsuccessfully — for today’s most favored candidate for dark matter, the axion,…
Results narrow in on what powers new class of supernovae. Another member of the new “Cow” class of supernova explosions has been discovered—the brightest one…
Astronomers find evidence for the tightest-knit supermassive black hole duo observed to date. Two supermassive black holes that are 9 billion light-years apart from one…
Scientists from Durham University and Kings College London have presented a theoretical review in a new study strongly supporting the search for axion dark matter….
Every galaxy, including our own Milky Way, has at its center a massive black hole whose gravity influences the stars around it. Generally, the stars…
Space travel can be agonizingly slow: For example, the New Horizons probe took almost 10 years to reach Pluto. Traveling to Proxima Centauri b, the…
A black hole at the center of a galaxy plays a role in the galaxy’s death, eating up their surrounding dust and gas and not…
Rochester astrophysicist Adam Frank discusses why cognitive activity operating on a planetary scale is necessary to tackle global issues such as climate change. The collective…
Interactions Between These Two Galaxies Is Creating a Tsunami of Starbirth If you like looking at weirdly shaped galaxies, there’s no better place than the…
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), launched last December, has been slowly powering up its instruments and unfurling its sunshield, and is now in the…
The planet’s night side likely hosts iron clouds, titanium rain, and winds that dwarf Earth’s jetstream. MIT astronomers have obtained the clearest view yet of…
An international team of astronomers led by Violeta Gámez Rosas (Leiden University) has observed a supermassive black hole hidden in a ring of dust. This…
