A team including Northwestern University astrophysicists has developed the most realistic, highest-resolution 3D simulation of star formation to date. The result is a visually stunning, mathematically ...

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 ...

Astronomers have developed a new code to simulate the formation of a cluster of baby stars. Comparison with the well-known real case of the Orion Nebula shows that its off-center bubble of ionized gas ...

A simulation showed black holes with masses between 100 and 10,000 times that of the sun could be born through a chaotic chain of stellar collisions. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

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 ...

Astronomers are drawing attention to a Christmas Tree-shaped cluster of stars glowing inside one of the Milky Way’s most active stellar nurseries. Known as the Cosmic Christmas Tree, the cluster sits ...

"SPT2349-56 is a system so extraordinary that we may have caught one of the most massive clusters under formation at a very brief and crucial stage." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Star cluster forming in a giant molecular cloud reproduced by the simulation. This image is based on the simulation. Blue dots represent individual stars. Dark and bright color indicate the gas ...
