Learn how supermassive black holes may be suppressing star formation in nearby galaxies.

The discovery made by a large research team challenges the existing models of the universe.

Scientific advancements have made it possible to peek into a faraway galaxy that has big implications.

An international team of astronomers has employed the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to investigate molecular gas in a nearby galaxy known as NGC 1387. Results of the ...

A global team led by UMass Amherst identified dusty, star-forming galaxies nearly 13 billion years old, bridging gaps between early ultrabright and quiescent galaxies in the universe.

The study of galaxies and their star formation processes remains a cornerstone of modern astrophysics. Galaxies are the fundamental building blocks of the Universe, each hosting a complex interplay of ...

Recent research has uncovered a barred spiral galaxy formed 11.5 billion years ago, making it one of the earliest known galaxies that contains a stellar bar. The research was supported by Yingjie ...

Scientists have discovered that active supermassive black holes don't just kill their home galaxies, but can also eradicate star formation for their neighbors.

The formation of galaxies in the universe should follow a fairly simple path. It starts with small galaxies, which then grow bigger and bigger until they become the giant galaxies we see in the modern ...

(Nanowerk News) An international team that was led by the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and includes Professor Stijn Wuyts from the University of Bath in the UK has identified three ultra-massive ...
