Dark matter hurricane gives physicists hope they'll discover elusive material
Nov 15, 2018 (Sputnik)
The scientists call this batch of dark matter the S1 stream. However, they can't actually "see" it: they've supposed that it exists because of about 30,000 iden...
Webb Telescope will investigate cosmic jets from young stars
Nov 15, 2018 (SPX)
Swirling gas spins faster and faster, threatening to rip the still-forming star into pieces. Clumps of matter are captured within a tangle of magnetic fields an...
Gravitational waves from a merged hyper-massive neutron star
Nov 15, 2018 (SPX)
Gravitational waves were predicted by Albert Einstein in his General Theory of Relativity in 1915. The waves are disturbances in space-time generated by rapidly...
Giant mirror-coating chamber arrives on Cerro Pachon
Nov 14, 2018 (SPX)
LSST, currently under construction in Chile, is an integrated system designed to conduct an unprecedented decade-long survey of the optical sky. Featuring an 8-...
Observatory joins Ceph Foundation to advance open source storage
Nov 14, 2018 (SPX)
The Linux Foundation, a non-profit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, announced that over 30 global technology leaders are forming a new...
Gaia spots a 'ghost' galaxy next door
Nov 14, 2018 (SPX)
An international team of astronomers, including from the University of Cambridge, discovered the massive object when trawling through data from the European Spa...
SOFIA unravels the mysterious formation of star clusters
Nov 12, 2018 (SPX)
Traditional models claim that the force of gravity may be solely responsible for the formation of stars and star clusters. More recent observations suggest that...
Slow death of nearby galaxy
Nov 12, 2018 (SPX)
The new peer-reviewed study of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), which is a tiny fraction of the size and mass of the Milky Way galaxy, uses images taken with C...
Sandwich structure of nanocrystals as quantum light source
Nov 09, 2018 (SPX)
In this way, the resulting light output can be much more intense than the sum of the individual emitters, leading to an ultrafast and bright emission of light -...
Multimessenger links to NASA's Fermi Mission show how luck favors the prepared
Nov 09, 2018 (SPX)
On Aug. 17, 2017, Fermi detected the first light ever seen from a source of gravitational waves - ripples in space-time produced, in this event, by the merger o...
Aging a Flock of Stars in the Wild Duck Cluster
Nov 08, 2018 (SPX)
In a partnership between the UA and the Korean Astronomy and Space Science Institute, a team of Korean and Belgian astronomers used UA instruments to solve a pu...
Galaxy-scale fountain seen in full glory with infalling amd outflowing gas
Nov 07, 2018 (SPX)
Astronomers have long theorized that fountains such as this continually recirculate a galaxy's star-forming fuel. New Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Arr...
ALMA and MUSE detect galactic fountain
Nov 07, 2018 (SPX)
A mere one billion light-years away in the nearby galaxy cluster known as Abell 2597, there lies a gargantuan galactic fountain. A massive black hole at the hea...
Ultra-hot gas around remnants of sun-like stars
Nov 07, 2018 (SPX)
White dwarfs are the final stage in the lives of stars like our Sun. At the end of their lives, these stars eject their outer atmospheres, leaving behind a hot,...
Cosmic fountain offers clues to how galaxies evolve
Nov 07, 2018 (SPX)
This is according to an international team of scientists who have provided the first clear and compelling evidence of this process in action. Using the Atacama ...
Tiny old star has huge impact
Nov 06, 2018 (SPX)
"Our Sun likely descended from thousands of generations of short-lived massive stars that have lived and died since the Big Bang," said Kevin Schlaufman of John...
Physicists create new, simpler-than-ever quantum 'hard drive for light'
Nov 06, 2018 (SPX)
"We've developed a new way to store pulses of light - down to the single-photon level - in clouds of ultracold rubidium atoms, and to later retrieve them, on-de...
Quantum on the edge: Light shines on new pathway for quantum technology
Nov 02, 2018 (SPX)
The research, developed in close collaboration with Israeli colleagues, was published in the prestigious journal, Science, a recognition of the foundational imp...
Astronomers discover the giant that shaped the early days of our Milky Way
Nov 01, 2018 (SPX)
Large galaxies like our Milky Way are the result of mergers of smaller galaxies. An outstanding question is whether a galaxy like the Milky Way is the product o...
Time-lapse shows thirty years in the life of supernova 1987A
Nov 01, 2018 (SPX)
The supernova was the cataclysmic death of a blue supergiant star, some 168,000 light-years from Earth, in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our...
