Locating sources of gravitational waves using artificial intelligence could enable astronomers to point telescopes at stellar ...

An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new dwarf galaxy, which they have named Pegasus VII. The ...

But because of their extreme characteristics, the interiors of these stellar remnants ... signal thus has the potential to reveal what neutron stars are made of." Gravitational waves were first ...

But detections of gravitational waves —- perturbations of spacetime itself —- are one of the few ways to track both the mergers of massive stellar black holes and potentially even massive ...

A new adaptive optics technology is set to transform gravitational-wave detection, allowing LIGO and future observatories like Cosmic Explorer to reach new heights. By correcting mirror distortions, ...

This leads to a crazy amount of gravitational force pulling on objects around the object. Stellar black holes then consume the dust and gas from their surrounding galaxies, which keeps them ...

Any object lifted above the ground has gravitational potential energy (\(E_{p}\) or GPE). The amount of gravitational potential energy an object has on Earth depends on its: mass; height above the ...
