Computer simulations carried out by astronomers from the University of Groningen in collaboration with researchers from ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) keep finding the same impossible thing: ancient supermassive black holes; monsters millions of times the sun’s mass, existing when the cosmos ...

As gas falls toward a black hole, it heats up and shines. If the glow becomes intense enough, it can push incoming gas away. Astronomers call this balancing point the Eddington limit, and for decades ...

A new simulation tool lets scientists explore whether self-interacting dark matter could reshape galaxies from the inside out ...

Physicists have unveiled a new way to simulate a mysterious form of dark matter that can collide with itself but not with ...

The consortium running the European Space Agency's (ESA) Euclid mission has published the most extensive simulation of the cosmos to date. The modeling was based on algorithms developed by UZH ...

The discovery reinforces established theories about space. There could be many more satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way than previously thought or observed, according to astronomers. As many as ...

"The knowledge of these will ultimately help us understand the formation of the first stars and planets and how our own Milky ...

Is it time to rethink one of physics’ fundamental forces?

Investigations into dark matter have revealed meaningful insights about the birth of the first-ever stars in the universe. Details regarding the investigation have been published in The Astrophysical ...
