Stars usually form in clusters, which can also form in pairs or groups. Binary clusters (BCs) are defined as pairs of open clusters closely associated both in position and kinematics. They provide insight into how stars form within giant…
Observations of the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*, collected by the James Webb Space Telescope, have allowed scientists to better understand how this cosmic titan fires off flares.
Research led by the RIKEN Center for Interdisciplinary Theoretical and Mathematical Sciences (iTHEMS) in Japan has successfully performed the world’s first Milky Way simulation that accurately represents more than 100 billion individual…
A record-breaking number of stars has been mapped by a new model that speeds up processing time while allowing smaller scale events, such as supernova explosions, to be incorporated into the simulation alongside larger-scale galactic…
"The discovery of this stream highlights how much is still unknown about the life histories of galaxies, how the hidden universe shapes the realms that we can see."
Astronomers have just discovered a galaxy that produces stars 180 times faster than the Milky Way. And this discovery could answer many questions about the first moments of the universe.
Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Interdisciplinary Theoretical and Mathematical Sciences in Japan, collaborating with The University of Tokyo and Universitat de Barcelona, have delivered the first simulation of the Milky Way that models…
Recently, astronomers have discovered a stellar stream in the galaxy M61, and this discovery is unique because it is as long as the Milky Way. But it will be necessary to conduct further studies to better understand this phenomenon.

Researchers combined deep learning with high-resolution physics to create the first Milky Way model that tracks over 100 billion stars individually. Their AI learned how gas behaves after supernovae, removing one of the biggest…
LHAASO has uncovered that micro-quasars, black holes feeding on companion stars, are powerful PeV particle accelerators. Their jets produce ultra-high-energy gamma rays and protons that exceed long-held expectations. Precise cosmic-ray…
First-light images from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory have revealed a 163,000-light-year stream of stars emanating from the M61 galaxy, suggesting a violent past.
AI-boosted simulation models one hundred billion Milky Way stars over ten thousand years, achieving one hundred times the detail and speed for astrophysics and climate modeling.
The current rate of star formation at the Galactic Center appears to be lower than in the rest of the Galaxy. A new study led by Dr. James De Buizer of the SETI Institute and Dr. Wanggi Lim of IPAC at Caltech has uncovered unexpected…
