According to modern cosmology, most galaxies are surrounded by faint, extended halos of light called LSB structures. These ...

New simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies reveal that the strange split between two chemically distinct groups of stars may ...

Some of the darkest objects in the universe are also among its brightest beacons, lighting up entire galaxies while their ...

Clues about how galaxies like our Milky Way form and evolve and why their stars show surprising chemical patterns have been ...

Dark matter is special in that it doesn't emit, absorb or interact with light, so science had to find a more creative way to ...

A new study using Auriga simulations explains the Milky Way’s chemical bimodality. Stars split into magnesium-rich and iron-rich sequences, revealing multiple evolutionary paths shaping our galaxy.

Clues about how galaxies like our Milky Way form and evolve and why their stars show surprising chemical patterns have been ...

The idea that we might be living in a simulated reality has worried us for centuries. Now physicists have found some ...

New simulations reveal that the Milky Way’s odd split between two chemically distinct groups of stars isn’t a universal ...

Clues about how galaxies like our Milky Way form and evolve and why their stars show surprising chemical patterns have been revealed by a new ...

The RISTRETTO project, dedicated to observing Proxima b –the closest exoplanet to the Solar System — is reaching a new milestone: several key components of this high-precision spectrograph have been ...

A detailed suite of simulations conducted by astrophysicists at the Flatiron Institute and their collaborators showed that magnetic fields can produce black holes with masses that were previously ...
