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.

Where is Roman? Roman is making its three-month journey from Earth to Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 2, or L2. Along the way, Roman is undergoing a process called commissioning, where systems are turned on, adjusted, calibrated, and prepared for science operations. Commissioning is the time for scientists and engineers to make sure that Roman is performing […]

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

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
