Clues to the growth of the colossus in Coma
Sep 24, 2013 (SPX)
A team of astronomers has discovered enormous arms of hot gas in the Coma cluster of galaxies by using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA's XMM-Newton. Th...
'Red nugget' galaxies were hiding in plain sight
Sep 20, 2013 (SPX)
In 2005 the Hubble Space Telescope spotted unusually small galaxies densely packed with red stars in the distant, young universe. They were nicknamed "red nugge...
The peanut at the heart of our galaxy
Sep 20, 2013 (SPX)
of the most important and massive parts of the galaxy is the galactic bulge. This huge central cloud of about 10 000 million stars spans thousands of light-year...
Pulsating dust cloud dynamics modelled
Sep 20, 2013 (SPX)
