June 8, 2022 — Astronomers have developed a new code to simulate the formation of a cluster of baby stars. Comparison with the well-known real case of the Orion Nebula shows that its off-center bubble of ionized ...
July 5, 2021 — Palomar 5 is a unique star cluster. In a new paper, astrophysicists show that distinguishing features of Palomar 5 are likely the result of an oversized black hole population of more than 100 of them ...
Aug. 9, 2023 — NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has followed up on observations by the Hubble Space Telescope of the farthest star ever detected in the very distant universe, within the first billion years ...
Oct. 15, 2020 — Star clusters have been part of the Imaginarium of human civilization for millennia. The brightest star clusters to Earth, like the Pleiades, are readily visible to the naked eye. A team around ...
Oct. 15, 2020 — In a surprising discovery, astronomers have found a star cluster in the Andromeda Galaxy that contains a record-breaking low amount of metals, calling into question the so-called ...
Apr. 16, 2021 — A survey of star formation activity in the Orion Nebula Cluster found similar mass distributions for newborn stars and dense gas cores, which may evolve into stars. Counterintuitively, this means ...
July 5, 2022 — A newly discovered star only takes four years to travel around the black hole at the center of our ...
June 2, 2021 — Researchers have discovered a massive cluster of stars of intermediate age in the direction of the Scutum constellation. This object, which has been named Valparaíso 1, lies some seven thousand ...
Jan. 24, 2022 — At one hundred thousand solar masses, it is smaller than the black holes we have found at the centers of galaxies, but bigger than the black holes that are born when stars explode. This makes it one ...
Oct. 30, 2020 — New studies reveals how some massive stars -- stars eight or more times the mass of our sun -- become isolated in the universe: most often, their star clusters kick them ...
