NASA’s retired Compton mission reveals superheavy neutron stars
Astronomers studying archival observations of powerful explosions called short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have detected light patterns indicating the brief existence of a superheavy neutron star shortly before it collapsed into a black hole. This fleeting, massive object likely formed from the collision of two neutron stars. “We looked for these signals in […]

Study confirms light from outside our galaxy is brighter than expected
Scientists analyzed new measurements showing that the light emitted by stars outside our galaxy is two to three times brighter than the light from known populations of galaxies, challenging assumptions about the number and environment of stars in the universe. Results of the study led by researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology have been posted to ArXiv and accepted […]

Astronomers find that two exoplanets may be mostly water
A team led by UdeM astronomers has found evidence that two exoplanets orbiting a red dwarf star are “water worlds,” planets where water makes up a large fraction of the volume. These worlds, located in a planetary system 218 light-years away in the constellation Lyra, are unlike any planets found in our solar system. The team, led by PhD […]

Team of scientists observe inner-most structure of quasar jet
An international team of scientists has observed the narrowing of a quasar jet for the first time by using a network of radio telescopes across the world. The results suggest that the narrowing of the jet is independent of the activity level of the galaxy which launched it. Nearly every galaxy hosts a supermassive black hole in its center. In […]

Reasons behind different colors of Uranus, Neptune: Research
According to research at the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA), researchers have developed a single atmospheric model that matches observations of both planets. The model reveals that excess haze on Uranus builds up in the planet’s stagnant, sluggish atmosphere and makes it appear a lighter tone than Neptune […]

Fatal heart rhythm disorder linked to air-pollution: Study
Arrhythmias are life-threatening and occur very commonly on days with highly polluted air (ESC), according to new research by the scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology. The study was carried out on patients who had an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), allowing the researchers to track the occurrence of arrhythmias […]

Astronomers capture image of black hole at center of the Milky Way
Astronomers snapped an image of a supermassive black hole for the first time in history. This is the second result of the research team since 2019, when it presented a picture of the M87 black hole. The Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) also participated in the research. Scientists said the […]

Scientists reveal Mercury has geomagnetic storms similar to those on Earth
A team of scientists has identified that Mercury, the solar system’s smallest planet has geomagnetic storms similar to those on Earth. The findings of the research were published in the journal, ‘Nature Communications’. The findings have answered whether other planets, including those outside our solar system, can have geomagnetic storms regardless of the size of their magnetosphere or […]
