New Delhi, June 25, 2022: An international collaboration of astronomers has discovered a binary super massive black hole in a system which will be a strong candidate for future detection of gravitational waves (GWs). Blazar which is super massive black hole (SMBH) feeding on gas in the heart of a very distant galaxy, are among the […]
New Delhi, April 09, 2022: Researchers have discovered a faint but star-forming galaxy, around 136 million light-years away which was so far undetected since it lies in front of a much brighter galaxy, The galaxy has a ‘ghost’ like appearance in the optical images because of its low disk density, but the inner disk shows […]
New Delhi, September 6, 2021: Blue stragglers, a class of stars on open or globular clusters that stand out as they are bigger and bluer than the rest of the stars, have intrigued scientists who have for long probed their origin. Carrying out the first-ever comprehensive analysis of blue stragglers, Indian researchers found that half […]
New Delhi, August 28, 2021: Indian researchers have discovered three supermassive black holes from three galaxies merging together to form a triple active galactic nucleus, a compact region at the center of a newly discovered galaxy that has a much-higher-than-normal luminosity. This rare occurrence in our nearby Universe indicates that small merging groups are ideal […]
New Delhi, April 8, 2021: Indian astronomers have tracked a rare supernova explosion and traced it to one of the hottest kind of stars called Wolf–Rayet stars or WR stars. The rare Wolf–Rayet stars are highly luminous objects a thousand times that of the Sun and have intrigued astronomers for long. They are massive stars […]
