Globular clusters maintain their structural integrity primarily due to the angular momentum of their constituent stars, preventing gravitational collapse towards the cluster's center of mass. While ...

Two massive galaxy clusters are slamming into each other, and for once astronomers are not reconstructing the crash from the ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope recently zeroed in on the Bullet Cluster—delivering highly detailed images that show a greater abundance of extremely faint and distant galaxies than ever before.

“Science is all about connectivity,” says Dr Sam Barrell (CBE), Deputy Chief Executive of Europe’s largest single-site biomedical research institute, the Francis Crick Institute. “It’s a highly ...

Astronomers have explained how a galaxy cluster maintains its heat, despite emitting X-rays that cool the hot gas at its center. The group discovered the existence of a fast-moving, high-temperature ...

A team of astrophysicists has unveiled how colossal stars thousands of times more massive than the Sun shaped the earliest star clusters and galaxies. These short-lived giants not only forged the ...

The distinct spatial distributions of open and globular star clusters in spiral galaxies are a consequence of the interplay between gravity and conserved angular momentum, which facilitates the ...

Today, Johns Hopkins University announced the results of a year-long, faculty-led process which has identified seven Bloomberg Distinguished Professorships research clusters to drive interdisciplinary ...
