Astronomers from Swinburne University in Australia and elsewhere have employed the Keck II telescope to investigate the ...

Scientists have uncovered the strongest evidence yet for the existence of elusive intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), long ...

The unusual galaxy was profiled in two complimentary studies. The first study, led by Doctoral Candidate Yimeng Tang of the University of California, Santa Cruz and published in the journal ...

Astronomers using W. M. Keck Observatory on Maunakea, Hawaiʻi Island have found compelling evidence of a dark matter-deficient dwarf galaxy, FCC 224. This ultra-diffuse galaxy is located on the ...

This paper reports the discovery of a high-velocity star J07 ejected from globular cluster M15 approximately 21 million years ...

What can merging star clusters teach scientists about the formation and evolution of dwarf galaxies, which are smaller ...

A new study reports the first direct observation of merging star clusters in the nuclear region of dwarf galaxies. This detection confirms the feasibility of this formation route for nuclei in dwarf ...

"SPT2349-56 is a system so extraordinary that we may have caught one of the most massive clusters under formation at a very ...

A recent study reports the first direct observation of merging star clusters in the nuclear region of dwarf galaxies in ...

Most open clusters reside in the arms of spiral galaxies, and their stars are usually relatively young. NGC 2031: In the top left corner of this starry sight, the globular cluster NGC 2031 shines ...

The observed clusters had similar features to other globular clusters, suggesting Hubble was witnessing star clusters growing through the cannibalization of globular clusters at the cores of dwarf ...
