Prior studies of dark matter have found that galaxies and other visible matter float inside blobs of dark matter, like white chocolate chips in a dark cookie.

Red dwarf stars, which are by far the most common stars in our galaxy, were once considered unlikely places to find Earth - like planets, but new studies contradict that view.

A new study based on observations with the Hubble Space Telescope has shown that the most massive galaxies in the universe, which are found in clusters like this, have been aligned with the distribution of neighboring galaxies for at least 10 billion years.

Lawrence Rudnick, the astronomer who led the team that found the void, was studying data from the Very Large Array, a network of 27 radio antennas in New Mexico, when he spotted a gap in the constellation Eridanus where radio signals from galaxies appear unusually faint.

Astronomers are missing as many as one - third of black holes by looking with the wrong telescopes, according to a new study which finds that massive black holes may be hiding behind thick clouds of dust and gas in the centers of galaxies.

An international team studying gas clouds in a distant galaxy has found that the temperature of the gas matches almost exactly what models predicted for the young cosmos.

Earlier research from Hubble's Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS)- Halos program studied 44 distant galaxies and found halos like Andromeda's, but never before has such a massive halo been seen in a neighboring galaxy.

They found that intense star formation in the galaxies they studied most frequently occured throughout the galaxies, as opposed to much smaller regions in present - day galaxies with similar high star - formation rates.

However, if we find radio - quiet quasars which are lensed by galaxies in front of them, we can use the increased brightness to be able to study them with today's radio telescopes.»

[4] To find out where the dark matter was located in the cluster the researchers studied the light from galaxies behind the cluster whose light had been magnified and distorted by the mass in the cluster.

But a new study shows that most of the 20 or so hypervelocity stars found so far might actually come from outside our own galaxy, in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small satellite galaxy orbiting the Milky Way at nearly 400 kilometers per second.

A study in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics finds that a distant quasar, powered by a black hole, is building a galaxy that will eventually surround the black hole.

The puzzle first emerged when Rudnick, who had decided to study a large cold spot in the cosmic microwave background, found some strange data in a radio telescope survey of distant galaxies.

The star - forming dwarf galaxy in the new study was found during an ongoing, large - scale inventory of the heavens, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, which revealed it as a possible point of interest.

Previous studies have found evidence of such mergers in tidal streams of stars in the extended halo of Andromeda, which appear to be remnants of cannibalized dwarf galaxies.

What the team directly observed was the last wave of Population III stars, suggesting that such stars should be easier to find than previously thought: they reside amongst regular stars, in brighter galaxies, not just in the earliest, smallest, and dimmest galaxies, which are so faint as to be extremely difficult to study.

Gillian Wilson, professor of physics and astronomy at UC Riverside, added, «Fascinatingly, however, the study found that the percentage of galaxies which had stopped forming stars in those young, distant clusters, was much lower than the percentage found in much older, nearby clusters.

Instead, we found this black hole fleeing from the larger galaxy and leaving a trail of debris behind it,» U.S. National Radio Astronomy Observatory's James Condon — the lead author of a study detailing the observations — said in a statement released Wednesday.

MAUNA KEA, HI — A detailed study of the motions of different stellar populations in Andromeda galaxy by UC Santa Cruz scientists using W. M. Keck Observatory data has found striking differences from our own Milky Way, suggesting a more violent history of mergers with smaller galaxies in Andromeda's recent past.

Older worlds with planetary companions may be the place to find the most ancient life in the galaxy, according to a new study.

«Think of the gas surrounding a galaxy as an atmosphere,» Megan Donahue of Michigan State University, the lead author of one of the studies detailing the findings, said, in a statement Thursday.

«We found in a related study with WISE that as many as half of the most luminous galaxies only show up well in infrared light,» Tsai said.

Astronomers studying gas clouds in the famous Whirlpool Galaxy have found important clues supporting a theory that seeks to explain how the spectacular spiral arms of galaxies can persist for billions of years.

The present work is a follow - up to a 2010 study, led by Dr. David Martínez - Delgado (University of Heidelberg), which used small robotic telescopes to image eight isolated spiral galaxies, and found the signs of mergers — shells, clouds and arcs of tidal debris — in six of them.

The astronomers had expected to find a number of ancient galaxies known as ellipticals, but instead discovered that, out of the 800,000 sample galaxies included in the study, 53 of the brightest examples were in fact spiral - shaped.

Ram pressure stripping has been studied previously, and other research found this process to have profound effects on the evolution of galaxies, but in a different way.

G.Battaglia comments «Qualitatively this is in agreement with the observational findings of this study, where we found remnants of cannibalized dwarf galaxies around the Milky Way.»

By studying reionization, we can learn a great deal about the process of structure formation in the universe, and find the evolutionary links between the remarkably smooth matter distribution at early times revealed by CMB studies, and the highly structured universe of galaxies and clusters of galaxies at redshifts of 6 and below.

To find out, we need to search for galaxies even farther away and study them in ways we currently can not do.
