Newly published research from the CHANG-ES consortium reveals that “halos” of cosmic rays and magnetic fields above and below the galaxies’ disks are much more…
Using the Very Large Array, an international team of astronomers has discovered jets of material ejected by still-forming young brown dwarfs, revealing the first direct…
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, astronomers have discovered what may be the first known example of a globular cluster about to be born. Globular…
Astronomers used VLA data, combined with VIMOS IFU data and HST imaging to reveal that a supermassive black hole is explosively heating and blasting around…
Astronomers have discovered a new example of a very rare type of galaxy that may yield valuable insight on how galaxies developed in the early…
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, astronomers show a clear picture of hierarchical merging and the all-important first steps along this process when the Universe…
While testing the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array’s new high-resolution capabilities, astronomers captured the best image ever of planet formation around an infant star. This revolutionary…
