A study led by Paolo Padoan, ICREA research professor at the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona ...

This rare stellar remnant is known as a magnetar. It's a type of neutron star, which is formed when a large star dies and ...

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

"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 ...

To celebrate Hubble's 35th anniversary, ESA/Hubble released a breathtaking new image of the star-forming region NGC 346 in the Small Magellanic Cloud. This cosmic nursery, packed with thousands of ...

But something strange is happening there: the rate of star formation is lower than it seems like it should be. With thick clouds of dust and gas, the Sagittarius C region should be bursting with ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
