Astronomers use simulations to discover how globular clusters form and reveal a new type of star system near the Milky Way.

For centuries, astronomers have puzzled over the origins of one of the universe's oldest and densest stellar systems, known as globular clusters. Now, a University of Surrey-led study published in ...

New simulations suggest globular clusters form in multiple ways and point to a mysterious new type of star system that may ...

The star-forming region called Sagittarius B2 contains half of the galactic center's stars, yet only 10% of the gas.

See a pair of superheavy neutron stars collide in this simulation with gravitational wave audio. "An audible tone and a ...

Globular clusters are dense groups of hundreds of thousands to millions of stars that orbit galaxies such as the Milky Way.

Scientists created the most accurate three-dimensional map of star-formation regions in our Milky Way galaxy, based on data ...

In binary star systems, the behavior of protoplanetary disks presents complex challenges to existing models. A research team from the University of Grenoble Alpes, including Pedro P. Poblete, Nicolás ...

Researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed for the first ...

Star formation is an intricate process that transforms vast molecular clouds into newborn stars, often accompanied by the formation of circumstellar discs composed of gas and dust. These ...

A family of six gaseous worlds circling like rhythmic dervishes around a sun-like star will soon help astronomers better understand how planetary systems like our own formed and evolved. This newly ...
