Gas cloud collisions during galaxy mergers compress interstellar material, triggering new star formation, as observed in interacting systems studied by NASA and reported by Universe Today.

For the first time, researchers have simultaneously measured the gravitational waves and the light from two merging neutron stars. ‘Multi-messenger astronomy’, combining the observation of ...

University of Warwick astronomers have uncovered compelling evidence that a nearby white dwarf is in fact the remnant of two stars merging—a rare stellar discovery revealed through Hubble Space ...

The option to measure the gravitational waves of two merging neutron stars has offered the chance to answer some of the fundamental questions about the structure of matter. At the extremely high ...

Very massive stars that collapse to create black holes may vomit out much more material during their short lives than we previously thought. The team's modeling revealed how stellar binaries can lead ...

Binary neutron star mergers emit gravitational waves followed by light. To fully exploit these observations and avoid missing key signals, speed is crucial. An interdisciplinary team of researchers ...
