University of Copenhagen researchers map Milky Way stellar neutrinos
A new model from the Niels Bohr Institute provides a comprehensive map of neutrino distribution across the galaxy to aid underground observatories.
NASA NuSTAR telescope measures supermassive black hole spin rate for first time
Astronomers used combined data from NuSTAR and XMM-Newton to definitively measure the spin rate of a supermassive black hole in galaxy NGC 1365.
Astronomers detect first magnetic fingerprint of a gamma-ray burst
Researchers using the NSF VLA detected polarized radio emission and Faraday rotation from GRB 260310A for the first time. These findings provide a direct method to measure the magnetic fields driving these explosions.
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS may be twice as old as the Sun
Analysis of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS reveals isotopic ratios suggesting it formed long before the Sun. Scientists used the JWST and VLT to probe its alien chemistry.
