Professor Woong-bae Zee of the College of Liberal Studies at Sejong University has revealed that a galaxy does not possess only a single evolutionary pathway; instead, depending on the nature of its ...

The question of what triggers the extremely rapid star formation within Hyper Luminous Infrared Galaxies (HyLIRGs), as yet unknown, is of much interest to guide our understanding of the formation and ...

A galaxy seen almost edge-on, wrapped in thick lanes of dust and glowing with unusually intense star formation, has long ...

Astronomers have employed the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on the Very Large Telescope (VLT) to perform deep spectroscopic observations of a peculiar spiral galaxy known as W2246f. Results ...

Most galaxies form new stars at a fairly slow rate, but members of a rare class known as "starburst" galaxies blaze with extremely active star formation. Scientists using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope ...

ESA’s Gaia mission has made a major breakthrough in unraveling the formation history of the Milky Way. Instead of forming alone, our galaxy merged with another large galaxy early in its life, around ...

Galaxy formation and evolution dynamics describe the sequence by which primordial density fluctuations in the expanding Universe collapse into dark matter haloes, drawing in baryonic gas that cools, ...

A 65-hour observation campaign by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has produced its most detailed infrared view yet of ...

An unexpectedly high number of young stars has been identified in the direct vicinity of a supermassive black hole and water ice has been detected at the center of our galaxy. An unexpectedly high ...
