A new Chandra image shows the location of several elements produced by the explosion of a massive star. Supernova remnants and the elements they produce…
Correction: A follow-up paper by Barth & Stern (2018) has shown that the evidence for periodic light variations presented in Dorn-Wallenstein et al. (2017) and…
Observations from the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Chandra X-ray observatory reveal a giant collision of several galaxy clusters, each containing hundreds of galaxies….
New X-ray observations show the auroras on Jupiter behave differently at each pole, making Jupiter puzzling and unlike Saturn (no known auroras) or Earth (where…
Using ESA’s XMM-Newton and NASA’s Chandra X-ray observatories, astronomers reveal that Jupiter’s intense northern and southern lights pulse independently of each other. The study, published…
By combining data from different telescopes, astronomers have discovered five new pairs of merging supermassive black holes. Astronomers have identified a bumper crop of dual…
Astronomers observed V745 Sco about two weeks after its most recent outburst in 2014 with Chandra, enabling them to generate this new 3D model that…
New research indicates older Sun-like stars settle down relatively quickly, boosting prospects for life to develop on planets around them. A new X-ray study has…
Exploding stars carry cloak of dense material that puzzles astronomers. A team of astronomers has detected the first X-rays from what appears to be a…
By studying the distribution of the X-rays and their properties in the giant molecular cloud known as W51, astronomers are trying to better understand the…
A new multi-wavelength study of a pair of colliding galaxies has revealed the cause of a supermassive black hole’s case of “indigestion.” The new research…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
A new multi-wavelength image of the Crab Nebula contains data from Chandra, VLA, Spitzer, Hubble, and XMM-Newton. The Crab supernova was observed in 1054 AD…
