Using ESO’s Very Large Telescope along with the Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory, a team of astronomers has solved the mystery of a…
Using Chandra, a team of astronomers has detected X-rays from Pluto for the first time. This X-ray emission comes from the interaction between Pluto’s atmosphere…
Astronomers may have detected the slowest spinning neutron star to date. The object is in the middle of the RCW 103 supernova remnant, which is…
Using Chandra and several other telescopes, astronomers have found the most distant galaxy cluster to date. This cluster, called CL J1001+0220, lies about 11.1 billion…
New Chandra data of the supernova remnant G11.2-0.3 raise new questions about the timing of its origin. Chandra observations show that dense gas clouds lie…
Using data from Chandra, astronomers have the strongest evidence to date that violent stellar mergers produce pencil-thin jets. This result has implications for estimating the…
By combining data from Chandra and several other telescopes, astronomers have identified the true nature of an unusual source in the Milky Way galaxy. This…
Using the combined data from Chandra, Hubble, and Spitzer, atronomers have found evidence that some early supermassive black holes formed directly from the collapse of…
By combining the Chandra data with 30 years worth of observations, scientists have made a movie of the evolution of Tycho’s supernova remnant. When the…
Researchers are using a large sample of galaxy cluster to investigate dark energy, showing that dark energy has not changed over billions of years. Astronomers…
Using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and the NSF’s Jansky Very Large Array, astronomers have determined the likely trigger for the most recent supernova in the…
Using data from NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory, astronomers show that solar storms trigger Jupiter’s intense ‘Northern Lights’ by generating a new X-ray aurora that is…
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, the NASA Chandra X-ray Observatory and the NRAO Jansky Very Large Array, astronomers have created a unique view of MACS…
Astronomers are using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the NSF’s Jansky Very Large Array to learn more about galaxy…
Using the Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have discovered a jet from a very distant black hole, called B3 0727+409. The light from this jet was…
Astronomers have discovered a giant jet spanning continuously for over 300,000 light-years blasting out of the galaxy Pictor A. In addition to the main jet,…
Using Chandra observations, astronomers have discovered one of the nearest supermassive black holes to Earth that is currently undergoing powerful outbursts. Such outbursts are part…
