Understanding the formation and evolution of the centers of galaxies is one of the most intriguing challenges in astrophysics ...

A high-resolution galaxy simulation shows nuclear star clusters and stellar discs grow together, fed by gas driven inward by ...

However, previous simulations of already-formed clusters suggested that stellar winds blow away most of their mass, leaving them too small. To investigate whether IMBHs could "survive," researchers ...

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 ...

Galaxy clusters host an intracluster medium (ICM) rich in thermal plasma, but interwoven with nonthermal components including relativistic particles and magnetic fields. Diffuse radio emission emerges ...

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 ...
