In a groundbreaking study, astronomers led by Natsuki H. Hayatsu have serendipitously uncovered an ultra-luminous infrared ...

An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new compact galaxy group using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The new group, designated CGG-z4, hosts two ...

Researchers have uncovered where FRBs are more likely to occur in the universe -- massive star-forming galaxies rather than low - mass ones. Since their discovery in 2007, fast radio bursts -- ...

This illustration shows a galaxy forming only a few hundred million years after the big bang, when gas was a mix of transparent and opaque during the Era of Reionization. Data from NASA’s James Webb ...

Astronomers have detected a mysterious dark object in the distant universe. It could be dark matter, or it could be something ...

Historically most scientists thought that once a satellite galaxy has passed close by its higher mass parent galaxy its star formation would stop because the larger galaxy would remove the gas from it ...

Scientists have discovered that bizarre cosmic phenomena known as fast radio bursts are more likely to occur in huge galaxies than in smaller ones, in turn unraveling the secrets of how so-called ...

The red shade shows the atomic hydrogen gas content of the galaxy, overlaid on the optical image. The atomic gas that is outside the white circle does not contribute significantly to the formation of ...

NASA's SPHEREx is exploring the galaxies to answer the question of where we all come from while sending back jaw-dropping ...

Almost all the light we see in the universe comes from stars which form inside dense clouds of gas in the interstellar medium. The rate at which they form (referred to as the star formation rate, or ...
