How do bound star clusters form?
Today’s paper tests five different models of star cluster formation to find out how gravitationally-bound star clusters form in our Universe.
Elusive black holes: Have we found the ‘middle sibling’?
Today’s paper presents an intermediate mass black hole (IMBH) hiding within a dense star cluster. X-ray and optical observations over 15 years allow the authors to explore the different stages of this IMBH feasting on an unlucky star.
Dwarf Galaxies without Dark Matter
Today’s paper looks at observations of 19 low mass galaxies which appear to contain no dark matter, potentially challenging our overall understanding of galaxy formation.
Understanding how massive star clusters form in our Universe
Today’s paper looks at how young massive star clusters are expected to form.
