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…
