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 ...

New research demonstrated a possible formation mechanism of intermediate-mass black holes in globular clusters, star clusters that could contain tens of thousands or even millions of tightly packed ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and its predecessor Hubble, astronomers took a close look at thousands of young star clusters in four galaxies and studied these clusters at different ...

Researchers from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have made significant progress in understanding how three-dimensional (3D) layered structures form ...

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 NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has identified thousands of more than 5 billion years old globular clusters in the Virgo cluster of galaxies. One of the results of these discoveries led ...

Stars usually form in clusters, which can also form in pairs or groups. Binary clusters (BCs) are defined as pairs of open clusters closely associated both in position and kinematics. They provide ...

Star cluster forming in a giant molecular cloud reproduced by the simulation. This image is based on the simulation. Blue dots represent individual stars. Dark and bright color indicate the gas ...
