A mapping of supermassive black holes near merger
Detecting supermassive black holes just before their merger would lead to significant advances in astrophysics. To achieve this, a new innovative approach combines the study of the gravitational ...
When studying local galaxy cluster Abell 3667, Anthony Englert GS, a Ph.D. candidate in physics, noticed something unique. Connecting the brightest galaxies in two small clusters within Abell 3667 was ...
A recently detected flash of energy appears to have emanated from the wreckage of colliding galaxies, according to an international team of astronomers led by Penn State scientists. The burst, known ...
Observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and other telescopes have shown what appears to be a supermassive black hole forming right between two merging galaxies. There have been multiple ...
Two massive galaxy clusters are slamming into each other, and for once astronomers are not reconstructing the crash from the debris long after the fact. They have caught the system in the act, with ...
Understanding how galaxies grow has long stood as one of astronomy’s core challenges. Over time, scientists have gathered evidence that galaxy mergers matter. When two galaxies move close, gravity can ...
