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 ...

New research demonstrated a possible formation mechanism of intermediate-mass black holes in globular clusters, star clusters that could contain tens of thousands or even millions of tightly packed ...

Scientists have detected a surprisingly hot galaxy cluster dating back to the universe’s infancy. The cluster formed far ...

“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 ...

Supermassive black holes appear to reside at the center of every galaxy and to have done so since galaxies formed early in the history of the Universe. Currently, however, we can’t entirely explain ...

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 ...

NASA’s flagship X-ray observatory is starting the calendar with a flourish, unveiling a richly detailed view of a distant ...
