Permeating the region is a diffuse haze of X-ray light from gas that has been heated to millions of degrees by winds from massive young stars – which appear to form more frequently here than elsewhere...
Physics and Astronomy |About a decade ago, astronomers discovered immense reservoirs of hydrogen gas -- which they named "blobs" – while conducting surveys of young distant galaxies. The blobs are glowing brightly...
Physics and Astronomy |In the first observation if its kind, scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science and San Diego State University were able to watch what happens when a star the size of 50 suns explodes. As they c...
Physics and Astronomy |Once considered rare and exotic objects, black holes are now known to exist throughout the Universe, with the largest and most massive found at the centres of the largest galaxies. These "ultra-m...
Physics and Astronomy |Cosmologists from Durham University, publishing their results in the prestigious international academic journal, Science, suggest that the formation of the first stars depends crucially on the nature ...
Studies and Analyses |A time-series of high-resolution spectra in the optical and ultraviolet has twice been obtained just a few minutes after the detection of a gamma-ray bust explosion in a distant galaxy. The internatio...
Physics and Astronomy |Integral is the European Space Agency's latest orbiting gamma-ray observatory. Ever since Integral began scientific operations in 2003, the project team has been devoting a substantial proportion...
Physics and Astronomy |This discovery was made by using data from the longest X-ray observation ever of M87, a nearby giant elliptical galaxy. M87 is centrally located in the Virgo cluster of galaxies and is known to harbor...
Physics and Astronomy |XMM-Newton, ESAs X-ray observatory, continues its quest for the unknown. This month, after five years of operations, the mission saw the publication of its 1000th scientific paper,...
Physics and Astronomy |Astrophysical Virtual Observatory Proves To Be Essential Tool Active galaxies Active galaxies are breathtaking objects. Their compact nuclei (AGN = Active Galaxy Nuclei) are ...
Physics and Astronomy |The spectacular aurora borealis displays that light up the northern nights could be powered by a gigantic "slinky" effect in Earths magnetic field lines, according to research performed a...
Earth Sciences |Quasars and active galactic nuclei (AGN) are likely powered by matter accretion onto a super-massive black hole located at their center. Before being swallowed by the black hole, matter spirals...
Physics and Astronomy |Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energys Los Alamos National Laboratory believe that magnetic field lines extending a few million light years from galaxies into space may be the resu...
Physics and Astronomy |Galaxies were once thought of as `island universes` evolving slowly in complete isolation. This is now known not to be the case. By using the world`s most powerful X-ray observatories, UK astro...
