Binary neutron star mergers emit gravitational waves followed by light. To fully exploit these observations and avoid missing key signals, speed is crucial. An interdisciplinary team of researchers ...

Astronomers from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy have constructed the first detailed 3D map of the properties of cosmic dust in our home galaxy. For their map, the astronomers used 130 million ...

Astronomers rely on clear observations to study celestial objects, but cosmic dust alters what we see, making stars appear ...

Neural network registers gravitational wave signal from neutron star collisions early on and shows telescopes where to find ...

Astronomers have constructed the first detailed 3D map of the properties of cosmic dust in our home galaxy. For their map, the astronomers used 130 million spectra from ESA's Gaia mission, results ...

When we observe distant celestial objects, there is a possible catch: Is that star I am observing really as reddish as it ...

Previous efforts to map the galaxy's dust were challenged by limited data, but the Gaia mission has provided a treasure trove ...

Binary neutron star mergers occur millions of light-years away from Earth. Interpreting the gravitational waves they produce ...

Published as a cover story in Science on Friday, this cosmic atlas solves a decade-old challenge in astronomy by revealing ...

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

Astronomers have developed the first three-dimensional (3D) map detailing the properties of interstellar dust in the Milky ...
