Astronomers have discovered that the magnetar SGR 0501+4516 is speeding through our galaxy at more than 110,000 mph. This ...

"SPT2349-56 is a system so extraordinary that we may have caught one of the most massive clusters under formation at a very brief and crucial stage." ...

Understanding the formation of stars together with their subsequent evolution and identifying the physical processes that ...

The researchers confirmed that two enormous stars, each more than 20 times the mass of the sun, are growing inside Sagittarius C, blasting out powerful jets of gas as they develop. They also ...

The most distant and earliest "dead" massive galaxy ever seen shows some galaxies lived fast and died young shortly after the Big Bang.

Astronomers say the extreme magnetic field of Magnetar SGR 0501+4516 could ‘rip apart every atom inside the body’ ...

Different stages of star formation can be measured in different ways, a number of which involve so-called emission lines – narrow regions within the electromagnetic spectrum where an object emits much ...

Almost all stars form in binary and multiple systems and so correctly predicting their properties in one of the best tests of star formation models. We are conducting hydrodynamic simulations of star ...

It has now been observed for the first time that strong magnetic fields play an important role in suppressing star formation, explains astrophysicist John Bally. This was possible because the ...

Additionally, NGC 4941 hosts an active galactic nucleus with a supermassive black hole, which affects its surroundings through radiation and jets, impacting star formation and galaxy evolution.

Traditionally, astronomers have grouped galaxies into two different categories: blue, which are young and actively forming stars, and red, which are older and have ceased star formation.
