Deciphering the universe’s secrets is partly done through observation, but just as important are solid models of the forces ...

The interstellar medium in our Milky Way galaxy is magnetic, can be compressed, and is turbulent. It affects important ...

Astronomers have developed a computer simulation to explore, in unprecedented detail, magnetism and turbulence in the interstellar medium (ISM)—the vast ocean of gas and charged particles that lies ...

Scientists mapped turbulent energy in the interstellar medium with record resolution, revealing magnetic effects and insights ...

In this study, using simulation data, we were able to show that Bondi-Hoyle accretion plays an important role in late-stage star formation by increasing the lifetime and mass reservoir of ...

We became the first research group to use 3-D printing to visualize star formation. To start, we ran several simulations representing various physical extremes. One simulation had very strong ...

A computer simulation takes us deep into a primordial ... the telescope has captured stunning views of star formation closer to Earth. A star in the process of sparking to life blows material ...

If a simulation accurately models the efficient star formation seen in the earliest galaxies at redshift 12 or 13, by the time it gets to redshift 7 or so, it is showing more or brighter galaxies ...

It’s a reminder that nothing in space happens in isolation. From the first spark of star formation to the slow shaping of a solar system, everything is tied together by the environment around it.

The Milky Way is churning out far more stars than previously thought, according to a new estimate of its star formation rate. Gamma rays from aluminum-26, a radioactive isotope that arises ...

In this study, using simulation data, we were able to show that Bondi-Hoyle accretion plays an important role in late-stage star formation by increasing the lifetime and mass reservoir of ...
