The distribution of normal matter precisely determines gravitational acceleration in all common types of galaxies, a team led by Case Western Reserve University researchers reports. The team has shown ...

Here’s how stars reveal a galaxy’s age—and what powers active cores like quasars and blazars.

Early-type galaxies, encompassing both elliptical and lenticular systems, are characterised by smooth stellar light distributions and a predominance of random over ordered motions. Stellar kinematics ...

A team of Japanese astronomers from the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, Tokyo University, and Kyoto University in Japan obtained infrared and high-resolution images of galaxies from 11 ...

Radio astronomers have released the largest-ever map of the magnetic fields between stars, as well as the ones that stretch ...

Early-type galaxies, encompassing ellipticals and lenticulars, are characterised by smooth stellar light distributions, predominantly old and metal-rich stellar populations, and negligible ongoing ...

Astronomers have spent over a decade tracking a unique type of compact dwarf galaxy, which continues to surprise everyone. Known as the "Little Red Dots" for their small, red appearance, these local ...

In a new study, a team of astrophysicists led by CU Boulder has set out to unravel the mysteries of UFOs—not the alien spacecraft, but a class of unusually large and red galaxies that researchers have ...

A large protocluster of galaxies that existed 12.6 billion years ago, first discovered with the Subaru Telescope, has been ...

Researchers have uncovered where FRBs are more likely to occur in the universe -- massive star-forming galaxies rather than low - mass ones. Since their discovery in 2007, fast radio bursts -- ...

"Imagine that you shoot a cloud with a gun; the energy of the bullet can be as large as you wish, and the cloud won't care. Yet we see less clouds of gas where there are black holes." When you ...
