Herschel Data Links Mysterious Quasar Winds to Furious Starbursts
Dec 14, 2017 (SPX)
Since their discovery in the 1960s quasars have provided a treasure trove of questions for astronomers to answer. These energetic sources - up to 10,000 times b...
Most Distant Supermassive Black Hole Found
Dec 14, 2017 (SPX)
Quasars are tremendously bright objects comprised of enormous black holes accreting matter at the centers of massive galaxies. This newly discovered black hole ...
New manifestation of magnetic monopoles discovered
Dec 14, 2017 (SPX)
Now, scientists at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria) have shown that there is a much simpler way to observe such magnetic monopoles:...
A model explains effects like the formation of clouds from the sea
Dec 11, 2017 (SPX)

MACHOs are dead, WIMPs are a no-show - say hello to SIMPs
Dec 11, 2017 (SPX)
Called SIMPs - strongly interacting massive particles - they were proposed three years ago by University of California, Berkeley theoretical physicist Hitoshi M...
Butterfly emerges from quantum simulation
Dec 08, 2017 (SPX)
The international team used photons in Google's quantum chip to simulate the surprising and beautiful pattern of the 'Hofstadter butterfly', a fractal structure...
Gemini: Supermassive Black Hole Is Ahead of Its Time
Dec 06, 2017 (SPX)
"Gathering all this mass in under 690 million years is an enormous challenge for theories of supermassive black hole growth," explains Eduardo Banados, an astro...
The Most Distant Black Hole in the Cosmos
Dec 06, 2017 (SPX)
At the center of the quasar is a massive black hole with a mass of almost 1 billion solar masses. In addition, the quasar's host galaxy has been found to contai...
Puzzling Supermassive Black Hole Observed in Infant Universe
Dec 06, 2017 (SPX)
The black hole is measured to be about 800 million times as massive as our Sun - a Goliath by modern-day standards and a relative anomaly in the early universe....
A Black Hole Behemoth at the Edge of Cosmic Dawn
Dec 06, 2017 (SPX)
To understand when supermassive black holes first appeared, astronomers scan the skies for actively-feeding black holes (known as "quasars") from the universe's...
Astronomer's map reveals location of mysterious fast-moving gas
Dec 05, 2017 (SPX)
The map covers the entire sky and shows curious clouds of neutral hydrogen gas that are moving at a different speed to the normal rotation of the Milky Way. It ...
Gravitational waves could shed light on the origin of black holes
Dec 04, 2017 (SPX)
"We know very well that black holes can be formed by the collapse of large stars, or as we have seen recently, the merger of two neutron stars," said Savvas Kou...
Study sheds light on turbulence in astrophysical plasmas
Dec 04, 2017 (SPX)
Now, two researchers have proposed a new model to explain these dynamic turbulent processes. The findings, by Nuno Loureiro, an associate professor of nuclear s...
The WHT measures the size of a stellar-mass black hole jet
Dec 04, 2017 (SPX)
In a new study appearing in the journal Nature Astronomy, in which the IAC has participated, astronomers announce that they have new clues to this mystery. They...
ALMA discovers infant stars surprisingly near galaxy's supermassive black hole
Dec 04, 2017 (SPX)
ALMA has revealed the telltale signs of eleven low-mass stars forming perilously close - within three light-years - to the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, ...
Key component for quantum computing invented
Dec 01, 2017 (SPX)
Beyond the familiar phases of matter - solid, liquid, or gas - topological insulators are materials that operate as insulators in the bulk of their structures b...
Studying heat transfer with computers is easier now
Nov 30, 2017 (SPX)
