As captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, this irregular galaxy lacks the defined spiral arms or elliptical shape commonly associated with other galaxies. Instead,...

Machine learning tools autonomously classify 1,000 supernovae

The algorithm aids astronomers in sorting through the discoveries made by the Zwicky Transient Facility. California Institute of Technology is the photographer. Caltech astronomers used a machine learning algorithm to classify 1,000 supernovae entirely on their own. The algorithm was applied to data collected by...

First giant molecular cloud simulation for star formation that includes jets, radiation, winds, supernovae

The process of star formation is arguably the most important in the universe. Stars produce all chemical elements except hydrogen and helium during their lifetimes and then with their deaths (produced in the big bang). Stars nurture the birth of planets and smaller bodies...
