Researchers Reveal First Jet Collimation Profile in an X-ray Binary

Active galactic nuclei (AGN), powered by accreting supermassive black holes, and X-ray binaries (XRBs), powered by accreting neutron stars or stellar-mass black holes, are two representative classes of compact accreting systems. Relativistic collimated jets are among the most spectacular phenomena in these systems. Understanding how these powerful outflows are launched, accelerated, and collimated

Satellite Galaxies Preserve "Kinematic Memory" of Cosmic Filaments

A research team from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has discovered that satellite galaxies retain a measurable "kinematic memory" of matter flowing into and along cosmic filaments. Using a large spectroscopic sample from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) , the team found that satellite galaxies preferentially orbit within planes that contain

A Gaze Through Dust: A Hidden Black Hole Uncovered in a Rare Triple-Galaxy Collision

Galaxy mergers are among the most spectacular and destructive events in the universe. During these encounters, not only are billions of stars redistributed, but the supermassive black holes lurking in the galaxies' centers can also interact with one another. Yet systems where three galaxies merge simultaneously are uncommon. Now, researchers have obtained the first direct observational evidence fo

LHAASO Identifies First Variable PeV Gamma-ray Source

The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) revealed that the peculiar binary system Cygnus X-3 in the constellation Cygnus is the highest energy gamma-ray source known to date. The temporal variability and spectral characteristics measured by LHAASO confirmed this object as the source of cosmic rays, with particle energies reaching at least 30 PeV (1PeV=10 15 eV), far exceeding curren

BESIII Achieves World's Most Precise Measurement of Lambda Hyperon Electric Dipole Moment

The BESIII Collaboration, led by the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has achieved the world's most precise measurement of the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the Lambda (Λ) hyperon using quantum-entangled Λ–anti-Λ pairs produced in J/ψ decays. The result improves the experimental sensitivity by about three orders of magnitude compared with the previous measurem

Study: Declining Star Formation Not Caused by Simple "Fuel Crisis"

The universe has been having fewer and fewer stellar "babies". Over the past 4.5 billion years, the rate of star birth has crashed to less than half of what it once was. But here's the twist: the most essential "fuel" for making stars has barely decreased. This finding comes from an international team led by researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with the Dark Ene

科学家在三重星系并合中发现隐蔽黑洞

Galaxy mergers are an important process in the evolution of the universe, often causing supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies to approach each other. Triple galaxy merger events are relatively rare in the universe and provide a unique sample for studying the co-evolution of galaxies and black holes.

“中国天眼”重绘宇宙演化图景

为什么宇宙越来越难以形成新的恒星？这是星系形成与演化领域的焦点。恒星的诞生，依靠致密的分子气体云。此前学界普遍认为，随着宇宙演化，孕育恒星的冷气体持续消耗，导致造星活动衰退。依据这一经典理论，恒星形成率下降，必然伴随冷气体储备的同步骤减。

WashU astronomers selected for Roman space telescope programs

Ahead of the scheduled Aug. 30 launch of NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, several Washington University in St. Louis researchers have been selected to play important roles in the mission’s inaugural science program. The Roman telescope promises to transform our understanding of the universe. NASA will use the Roman telescope to investigate dark energy, discover thousands of exoplanets and
