More than a quarter century ago, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey fundamentally changed the way modern astronomy research is done. The collaboration recently released their summary of the fifth generation of their landmark survey.
Recent work explores whether a commonly assumed source of data–model disagreement in simulations of stellar interiors is really to blame.
Gas flowing into a galaxy is hard to detect, but a recent study simulated a dusty galaxy to understand how we might be able to uncover inflows with emission line ratios.
A supermassive black hole awakened seven years ago, and it’s now behaving in a way astronomers can’t explain.
Researchers search for the tiniest coronal jets, explore the Sun’s behavior from centuries ago, and examine space weather forecasts in this month’s Roundup.
A massive survey of images collected by JWST is shedding light on how galaxies grow and evolve.
Researchers explore how the tilt of merging galaxies can impact the eventual collision of their supermassive black holes.
Researchers have detected water vapor around a B[e] supergiant star for the first time, indicating a likely binary companion for LHA 115-S 18.
Event Horizon Telescope images are already some of the sharpest in all of astronomy. A new algorithm might be able to squeeze even more information out of them with complex statistical modeling.
A comet tangled with a coronal mass ejection and lost part of its tail in the process.
