Plasma flows along closed magnetic field lines in the corona that pull it back toward the solar surface, forming structures that appear to loop. Credit:…
MIT astronomers mapped the “disk winds” associated with the accretion disk around Hercules X-1, a system in which a neutron star is drawing material away…
Evidence for two pairs of supermassive black holes in dwarf galaxies on collision courses has been found with Chandra. The two pairs are shown in…
Ejecta from the first supernovae (cyan, green, and purple objects surrounded by clouds of ejected material) enrich the primordial hydrogen and helium gas with heavy…
The compact radio jet in the center of the Teacup galaxy blows a lateral turbulent wind in the cold dense gas, as predicted by the…
Researchers from SISSA have identified the main properties of a mysterious, distant celestial object using the ALMA interferometer. The young, compact galaxy is forming stars…
