Separate normalized torque of M = 107medium size case. The black line shows the combination of Type I torque plus GW torque. The purple line is the thermal torque and …
Astronomers with the help of the James Webb Space Telescope have detected radiation from a brown dwarf star, suggesting it may produce auroras like those seen near Earth’s poles and …
When researchers initially studied a single galaxy, they found gas from 49 galaxies. Using the MeerKAT telescope, they identified important galaxy groups and dynamics, highlighting the instrument’s potential for future …
Schematic diagram of a JuMBO produced by a stellar encounter. Left: A star’s close flyby of a planetary system caused two planets to be ejected, and the two planets remain …
LHAASO has discovered a super cosmic ray accelerator in a gamma-ray bubble in the Cygnus region, marking significant progress in understanding cosmic rays with energies above 10 PeV and their …
Archival Chandra image of ACT-CL J0329. Image source: Sikhosana et al., 2024. An international team of astronomers conducted radio observations of a giant galaxy cluster called ACT-CL J0329.2-2330 and detected …
A stellar black hole has been discovered in the Milky Way. Astronomers have discovered the largest stellar black hole ever discovered in the Milky Way, with a mass 33 times …
A group of 632 main-belt asteroids (178 previously known objects and 454 unknown objects) have been identified in archival images from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Citizen scientists from around …
Astronomers have discovered the most massive stellar black hole known in the Milky Way after detecting an unusual wobble in space. It is Gaia BH3, its mass is nearly 33 …
There may be an invisible universe of stars, nebulae, and galaxies made entirely of dark matter. Astronomers now know how to look for it. In short, dark matter is a …
