Scientists detected gas at least five times hotter than previous theories had predicted inside a galaxy cluster from the ...

Globular clusters maintain their structural integrity primarily due to the angular momentum of their constituent stars, preventing gravitational collapse towards the cluster's center of mass. While ...

New research demonstrated a possible formation mechanism of intermediate-mass black holes in globular clusters, star clusters that could contain tens of thousands or even millions of tightly packed ...

Two massive galaxy clusters are slamming into each other, and for once astronomers are not reconstructing the crash from the ...

NASA’s flagship X-ray observatory is starting the calendar with a flourish, unveiling a richly detailed view of a distant ...

Supermassive black holes appear to reside at the center of every galaxy and to have done so since galaxies formed early in the history of the Universe. Currently, however, we can’t entirely explain ...

A galaxy cluster discovered on New Year’s Eve in 2020 shines in a new image from NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory ...

Astronomers have explained how a galaxy cluster maintains its heat, despite emitting X-rays that cool the hot gas at its center. The group discovered the existence of a fast-moving, high-temperature ...

“Science is all about connectivity,” says Dr Sam Barrell (CBE), Deputy Chief Executive of Europe’s largest single-site biomedical research institute, the Francis Crick Institute. “It’s a highly ...

The distinct spatial distributions of open and globular star clusters in spiral galaxies are a consequence of the interplay between gravity and conserved angular momentum, which facilitates the ...
