How superwinds help drive galactic development

Galactic superwinds, which are large outflows of gas caused by a combination of supernova explosions and stellar winds, are intimately linked to the early stages of a galaxy's development and evolution, including aspects such as its size, shape, and even how many stars will...

Independent reanalysis of the M87 galactic center radio observational data

According to a new study, an independent reanalysis of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observational data for the centre of the elliptical galaxy M87 produced images with different features. This study is part of the modern scientific research process, in which observational data and...

Spinning stars shed new light on strange signal coming from galactic center

The Australian National University (ANU) researchers have found an alternative explanation for a mysterious gamma-ray signal coming from the center of the galaxy. It was long claimed as a signature of dark matter. Gamma-rays are the form of electromagnetic radiation with the shortest wavelength and...

Hubble explores galactic wings

This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope features two merging galaxies in the VV-689 system. Its nickname is Angel Wing. It is unlike chance alignments of galaxies which only appear to overlap when viewed from our vantage point on Earth. The two galaxies...

Milky Way’s feeding habits shine a light on dark matter

A new map of twelve streams of stars orbiting within our galactic halo has lead astronomers one step closer to reveal the properties of dark matter enveloping our Milky Way galaxy. Astronomers wants to understand these star streams. Dark matter that holds the stars in their...
