Stars usually form in clusters, which can also form in pairs or groups. Binary clusters (BCs) are defined as pairs of open ...

The Milky Way has just been reconstructed in unprecedented detail, with artificial intelligence helping astronomers track the ...

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, ...

Star formation is an intricate process that transforms vast molecular clouds into newborn stars, often accompanied by the formation of circumstellar discs composed of gas and dust. These ...

The combination of theoretical models and empirical data provides a new perspective for understanding the complex interactions between young stars and their environments. A study led by Paolo Padoan, ...

Artist conception of early starbursting galaxies. The image is rendered from FIRE simulation data used for this research that can explain recent JWST results. Stars and galaxies are shown in the ...

The Milky Way is churning out far more stars than previously thought, according to a new estimate of its star formation rate. Gamma rays from aluminum-26, a radioactive isotope that arises primarily ...

Astronomers studying galaxy evolution have long struggled to understand what causes star formation to shut down in massive galaxies. Although many theories have been proposed to explain this process, ...
