This animation shows the simulated evolution of a galaxy over 200 million years. While the simulations look very similar with and without the machine learning AI model, the AI model performed 4 times ...

An international research team led by Chinese scientists at the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of ...

New supercomputer simulations suggest the Milky Way could be surrounded by dozens more faint, undetected satellite galaxies—up to 100 more than we currently know. These elusive "orphan" galaxies have ...

Ring galaxies and polar-ring galaxies offer natural laboratories for investigating how dynamical processes shape star formation. In collisional ring systems, a near head-on encounter launches a ...

Cosmological simulations have become indispensable tools for understanding the assembly of galaxies within the framework of a ΛCDM Universe. By numerically integrating the coupled equations of gravity ...

Magnetic fields thread through galaxy clusters and stretch along cosmic filaments spanning hundreds of millions of light-years. They deflect cosmic rays, shape star formation, and influence the ...

Astronomers studying galaxy evolution have long struggled to understand what causes star formation to shut down in massive galaxies. Although many theories have been proposed to explain this process, ...
