Astronomy New Study Suggests Supermassive Black Holes Could Form from Dark Matter (Astronomy) 24 Feb 2021 A new theoretical study has proposed a novel mechanism for the creation of supermassive black holes from dark matter. The international team find that rather than the conventional formation scenarios…
Astronomy Researchers Detect Cold Gas Pipelines Feeding Early, Massive Galaxies (Astronomy) 24 Feb 2021 To come into being, galaxies need a steady diet of cold gases to undergo gravitational collapse. The larger the galaxy, the more cold gas it needs to coalesce and to…
Astronomy Delayed Radio Flares From a Tidal Disruption Event (Astronomy) 24 Feb 2021 A team of researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HUJI) led by Dr. Assaf Horesh have discovered the first evidence of radio flares emitted only long after a star…
Astronomy Research Reveals Stellar Kinematics of the Galactic Disc (Astronomy) 24 Feb 2021 By using a sample of 118945 red giant branch (RGB) stars from the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) and Gaia, Dr. WU Yaqian from the National Astronomical Observatories…
Astronomy Supernova 1987A: Reclusive Neutron Star May Have Been Found in Famous Supernova (Astronomy) 23 Feb 2021 Astronomers now have evidence from two X-ray telescopes (Chandra and NuSTAR) for a key component of a famous supernova remnant.Supernova 1987A was discovered on Earth on February 24, 1987, making…
Astronomy How Do Rotating Black Holes Form In Higher Dimensions? (Astronomy) 23 Feb 202123 Feb 2021 Summary: Black holes are generically formed by gravitational collapse of a dust cloud under its own gravity or accretion of matter onto a gravitating centre. For rotating black hole, matter…
Astronomy Big Data to Model the Evolution of the Cosmic Web (Astronomy) 22 Feb 2021 The Instituto de AstrofÃsica de Canarias (IAC) has led an international team which has developed an algorithm called COSMIC BIRTH to analyse large scale cosmic structures. This new computation method…
