The study reveals cosmic rays are driving galaxies’ winds An important new hint regarding how galaxies halt intense episodes of star formation has been found…
Scientists using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) made a rare detection of a likely stellar…
The supernova remnant G344.7-0.1 is across the Milky Way about 19,600 light years from Earth. It belongs to a class of supernovas called “Type Ia”…
The first observation of a brand-new kind of supernova had been predicted by theorists but never before confirmed. In 2017, a particularly luminous and unusual…
VLA reveals new details of protostellar jet. Astronomers studying the fast-moving jet of material ejected by a still-forming, massive young star found a major difference…
Radio telescopes are the world’s most sensitive radio receivers, capable of finding extremely faint wisps of radio emission coming from objects at the farthest reaches…
Quasar also can serve as ‘beacon’ for studying closer objects. Astronomers using the National Science Foundation’s Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and Very…
New observations of the first black hole ever detected have led astronomers to question what they know about the Universe’s most mysterious objects. Published today…
In order to study a wide range of astronomical phenomena, the VLA has several shapes or configurations, each with its own advantages. When the Very…
Astronomers using the National Science Foundation’s Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) have made the first radio-telescope detection of a planetary-mass object beyond our…
Astronomers studying the Toothbrush Cluster with new radio observations combined with other wavelengths have been able to confirm the galaxy merger scenario and estimate the…
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….
Using radio and X-ray data, astronomers reveal that the mini-halo in the Perseus cluster seems to be influenced both by the AGN activity and the…
In a new study, astronomers modeled observations of the black hole X-ray binary V404 Cygni during the most active phase of its June 2015 outburst….
By combining data from several telescopes, astronomers created this captivating new image of the Crab Nebula. The unusual image was produced by combining data from…
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…
