Supermassive black holes lurk at the centers of massive galaxies, including our own Milky Way. Puzzlingly, supermassive black ...

This Collection features original research on the mechanisms driving star formation, the lifecycle of various stellar types, and the complex interactions between stars and their environments. The ...

Quasars stripped early galaxies of their gas, the basic raw material for making stars.

Fresh insights into star clusters advance our understanding of galaxy and planet formation.

A study published today in Astronomy & Astrophysics marks a significant milestone in our understanding of the formation and dynamical evolution of multiple stellar populations in globular clusters ...

What can fast-spinning stars known as “blue lurkers” teach us about star formation and evolution? This is what a recent study being presented at the 245th American Astronomical Society meeting hopes ...

Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope together with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have looked deeply at thousands of young star clusters in four nearby galaxies, studying ...

The combination of theoretical models and empirical data provides a new perspective for understanding the complex interactions between young stars and their environments. A study led by Paolo Padoan, ...

How can timing influence planetary formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated the ...

Scientists have uncovered the true boundary of the Milky Way’s star-forming region using stellar “age mapping.” They found a ...

The Milky Way is at least 100,000 light-years across, but the new results suggest that the galaxy's star formation takes ...
