Astronomers connect volunteered computers on MilkyWay@home and model the dark matter content of dwarf galaxies.
Dark matter subhalos are invisible and hard to detect, but astronomers in today’s paper use stellar streams to take a stab.
This week we’re celebrating this year’s astronomical awardees for the Nobel Prize in Physics. Today we have Reinhard Genzel and his pioneering work on constraining the black hole at the centre of our Galaxy
