Astrophysics is a lot like life in that sometimes the journey matters more than the destination. In today’s paper, which looks at the Hydrogen Lyman-α spectral line in a high-redshift protocluster, that’s absolutely the case!
In today’s paper, find out how a flying telescope can help astronomers learn more about the birthplaces of stars and planetary systems.
A mysterious streak appears in Hubble images. Could it be the starry wake left behind by an ejected black hole?
In today’s paper, the authors analyze millimeter and submillimeter ALMA observations of a protoplanetary disk, and find kinematic signs of candidate companions within!
Direct imaging exoplanets is difficult, but a new method of vetting targets has just helped three independent teams discover, and image, a new gas giant.
Investigating the physical properties of galaxies is key to our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution. With the power of the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers are now able to investigate properties of huge numbers of galaxies in the early Universe.
