The new simulations show a cross section of the star and its surrounding disk of gas. In the left image, where the young star is weakly magnetized, gas can be seen flowing freely from the surrounding ...

When our sun exhausts the hydrogen fuel in its core some 5 billion years from now, it will expand to become a red giant, engulfing the inner planets. The dynamics and possible outcomes of planetary ...

Pictures are the key to new insights in the field of astrophysics. Such images include simulations of cosmic events, which astrophysicists at UZH use to investigate how stars, planets and galaxies ...

For centuries, astronomers have puzzled over the origins of one of the universe's oldest and densest stellar systems, known as globular clusters. Now, a University of Surrey-led study published in ...

When a black hole and a neutron star finally meet, the result is cosmic carnage—and now, thanks to Caltech’s latest supercomputer simulations, we’re getting a front-row seat to the whole terrifying ...

Ching-Yao Tang and Dr. Ke-Jung Chen from the Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Academia Sinica (ASIAA) have made substantial progress in decoding the birth mass of the first stars using the ...

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 ...

A long-held dream in astronomy has finally come into reach, and it carries a surprising emotional weight. For years, scientists have imagined watching the Milky Way evolve one star at a time, almost ...

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, ...

The most detailed supercomputer simulation ever of our Milky Way galaxy has been created by combining machine learning with numerical models. By running 100 times faster than the next most detailed ...

Strict embargo: not for publication or external distribution until 10 September 2025 at 16:00 (London time), 10 September 2025 at 11:00 (US Eastern Time) For centuries, astronomers have puzzled over ...

Astronomers solved the mystery of globular clusters with simulations, revealing their origins and uncovering a new class of object in our galaxy. Globular clusters are dense collections of hundreds of ...
