Astronomers have applied artificial intelligence (AI) to ultra-wide field-of-view images of the distant Universe captured by the Subaru Telescope, and have achieved a very high…
Astronomers have detected a stealthy black hole from its effects on an interstellar gas cloud. This intermediate mass black hole is one of over 100…
At the end of its life, a red supergiant star explodes in a hydrogen-rich supernova. By comparing observation results to simulation models, an international research…
Using Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) mounted on the Subaru Telescope, astronomers have identified nearly 200 “protoclusters,” the progenitors of galaxy clusters, in the early Universe, about…
A research team of multiple institutes, including the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan and University of Tokyo, released an unprecedentedly wide and sharp dark matter…
Magnetism plays a critical role in various solar phenomena such as flares, mass ejections, flux ropes, and coronal heating. Sunspots are areas of concentrated magnetic…
Using the Subaru Telescope, astronomers create the most-extensive map of neutral hydrogen gas in the early universe. Scientists have used the Suprime-Cam on the Subaru…
Using the Nobeyama Radio Telescope, a team of astronomers has detected signs of an invisible black hole with a mass of 100 thousand times the…
New research from the National Institutes of Natural Sciences shows that a previously unconsidered photochemical mechanism by titanium (IV) oxide (titania) can produce abiotic oxygen…
A team of astronomers has observed a long-hypothesized mechanism for coronal heating in which magnetic waves are converted into heat energy. Modern telescopes and satellites…
Using the Subaru Telescope, a team of astronomers reveal the ghostly remnants of galaxy interactions in a nearby galaxy group. Astronomers using the Subaru Telescope’s…
Using weak gravitational lensing the newly developed Hyper Suprime-Cam on the Subaru telescope has revealed nine large concentrations of dark matter, each the mass of…
Using the 8.2-meter Subaru Telescope High Dispersion Spectrograph (HDS), a team of astronomers observed Nova Delphini 2013 and discovered that the outburst is producing a…
Astronomers used observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array to identify spiral arms of molecular gas and dust around binary protostars, revealing for the first…
In a newly published study, scientists reveal that there is an extremely soft layer deep inside the Moon and that heat is effectively generated in…
Astronomers have discovered an unexpected chemical change in the transition zone between the infalling envelope and the gas disk around young protostar L1527. The international…
New Subaru Telescope observations of super-Earth GJ 1214 b show that the exoplanet is likely to have a water-rich atmosphere. A Japanese research team of…
By masking the bright light from a central star, HiCIAO can detect the detailed features of a star’s disk and the objects that it contains,…
