Astronomers find a way to form ‘fast and furious’ planets around tiny stars New astronomy research from the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) suggests giant planets could form around small stars much faster than previously thought. phys.org Go to Source

The riddle of the heavenly bursts This cosmic lightning storm is happening all around us. Somewhere in the earthly sky, there is a pulse that flashes and extinguishes in the next moment. These bursts, which must be measured with radio telescopes and last one thousandth of a second, are one of the greatest mysteries of […]

Gravitational wave echoes may confirm Stephen Hawking’s hypothesis of quantum black holes Echoes in gravitational wave signals suggest that the event horizon of a black hole may be more complicated than scientists currently think. phys.org Go to Source

Astrophysicists find massive black holes wandering around dwarf galaxies A new search led by Montana State University has revealed more than a dozen massive black holes in dwarf galaxies that were previously considered too small to host them, and surprised scientists with their location within the galaxies. phys.org Go to Source

Source position and duration of a solar type III radio burst observed by LOFAR Type III solar radio bursts are generated by non-thermal electron beams propagating through the solar corona and interplanetary space. In dynamic spectra, the flux of solar type III radio bursts have a time profile of rising and decay phases at a […]
