Besides particles like sterile neutrinos, axions and weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), a leading candidate for ...

The moment one galaxy spears another with a powerful beam of radiation shooting from its central black hole has been spotted in a distant galactic collision.

When people think of black holes, they imagine something dramatic: a star exploding in space, collapsing in on itself, and ...

The lives and deaths of stars shape the universe—from the gentle fading of white dwarfs to the explosive furnaces that forged ...

The mystery of how planets and icy objects formed in the farthest reaches of our solar system just took an exciting turn. A ...

Grigory Vladimirovich Domogatsky, spokesman of the Baikal Neutrino Telescope project, passed away on 17 December 2024 at the ...

In related research, Professors Pankaj Joshi and Sudip Bhattacharyya proposed that gravitational collapse in the early universe could have produced primordial naked singularities (PNaSs).

The gravitational collapse of a star can lead to the formation of a regular black hole. However, a key factor in this process is the transition of ordinary baryonic matter into a substance that forms ...

Without the outward force of fusion energy in their cores to counter the effect of gravity and hold up their incredible mass, these stars undergo gravitational collapse. If a star is greater than ...

Gravitational waves of this scale are the ... universe might have concentrated pockets of matter enough for them to collapse into black holes. These incredibly massive, largely invisible ...

ABSTRACT: The paper is devoted to the study of the gravitational collapse within the framework of the spherically symmetric problem in the Newton theory and general relativity on the basis of the ...

According to the nebular hypothesis, our star system formed from the gravitational collapse of part of a giant molecular cloud, most likely at the edge of a Wolf-Rayet bubble. (More on these in a ...
