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…
Using the Herschel Space Telescope, astronomers have made giant strides in our understanding of the physical processes that lead to the birth of stars and…
New research from Notre Dame lends support to an existing theory of how binary star system AR Scorpii emits energy. Astronomers studying the unique binary…
In a newly published study, a team of astronomers measures how a galaxy’s spin affects its shape. It sounds simple, but measuring a galaxy’s true…
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…
New research on black holes believed to have formed shortly after the Big Bang, might explain how gold, platinum and uranium are created. A long-standing…
In a new study, researchers led by the University of Leicester will “test our understanding of how the Universe works, particularly outside the relatively narrow…
The movements of more than 300,000 stars surveyed by ESA’s Gaia satellite reveal that rare close encounters with our Sun might disturb the cloud of…
Astronomers have detected CH+ for the first time in the distant Universe, opening up a new window of exploration into a critical epoch of star…
After observing a nearby galaxy from which ultraviolet light is escaping, astronomers hypothesize that black holes may have punctured darkened galaxies and allowed light to…
Hands-on experiments performed at Sandia National Laboratories’ Z machine contradict a long-standing but unproven assumption about the X-ray spectra of black holes. Z, the most…
A team of astronomers has constructed the most detailed image ever of a star — the red supergiant star Antares. They have also made the…
Using a new algorithm to enhance observations from the Kepler Space Telescope, astronomers provide the most detailed study yet of the Pleiades star cluster. The…
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…
ESO’s Very Large Telescope has revealed a previously unknown way to fuel supermassive black holes. Observations of “Jellyfish galaxies” show a new way to fuel…
For the first time, researchers reconstruct and detail the two phenomena that are responsible for the fluctuation of brightness in our sun. The Sun shines…
Using data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope, astronomers reveal that the varying glow of brown dwarfs over time can be explained by bands of patchy…
