Neutron star's X-rays reveal 'photon metamorphosis'
May 05, 2023 (SPX)
The extremely dense and hot remnant of a massive star, boasting a magnetic field 100 trillion times stronger than Earth's, was expected to generate highly polar...
Astronomers find distant gas clouds with leftovers of the first stars
May 04, 2023 (SPX)
"For the first time ever, we were able to identify the chemical traces of the explosions of the first stars in very distant gas clouds," says Andrea Saccardi, a...
The ultra-fast space winds that shape the evolution of galaxies
May 04, 2023 (SPX)
The research project is called SUBWAYS (SUper massive Black hole Winds in the x-rAYS) and the first results have been published, in two papers, in Astronomy and...
Scientists find link between photosynthesis and 'fifth state of matter'
May 04, 2023 (SPX)
The study, published in PRX Energy on April 28, found links at the atomic level between photosynthesis and exciton condensates-a strange state of physics that a...
Ground wide angle camera array detects prompt optical emission of gamma-ray burst
May 03, 2023 (SPX)
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are produced by the collapse of massive stars or the merger of binary neutron stars. They are accompanied by extreme relativistic jets e...
Star swallows planet in first glimpse of Earth's likely end
May 03, 2023 (AFP)
But when the Sun finally does engulf Earth, it will cause only a "tiny perturbation" compared to this cosmic explosion, the US astronomers said. Most planets ar...
