Understanding the formation and evolution of the centers of galaxies is one of the most intriguing challenges in astrophysics ...

Using an advanced galaxy simulation, a Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP)-led research team gained new insights ...

A high-resolution galaxy simulation shows nuclear star clusters and stellar discs grow together, fed by gas driven inward by ...

New Chandra observations reveal that galaxy cluster Abell 2029 still bears the scars of a violent collision that occurred 4 billion years ago. | Credit: X-ray: NASA/CXC/CfA/C. Watson et al.; Optical: ...

Galaxy clusters are the largest gravitationally bound structures in the universe, with each containing hundreds or even thousands of galaxies. When two of these giants collide, they send powerful ...

Astronomers have explained how a galaxy cluster maintains its heat, despite emitting X-rays that cool the hot gas at its center. The group discovered the existence of a fast-moving, high-temperature ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Artist's impression of a forming galaxy cluster in the early universe: radio jets from active galaxies are embedded in a hot ...

Galaxy clusters are the most massive objects in the universe held together by gravity, containing up to several thousand individual galaxies and huge reservoirs of superheated, X-ray-emitting gas. The ...

Galaxy clusters host an intracluster medium (ICM) rich in thermal plasma, but interwoven with nonthermal components including relativistic particles and magnetic fields. Diffuse radio emission emerges ...

Using a state-of-the-art galaxy simulation, a team led by scientists from the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) gained new insights into the processes shaping galactic centres across ...
