Years-long observation program surprises astronomers with evidence of a star’s violent death near the core of a distant galaxy.

Two independent teams of astronomers have uncovered convincing evidence that three young planets are in orbit around an infant star known as HD 163296. Using a new planet-finding strategy, the astronomers identified three discrete disturbances in a young star’s gas-filled disk: the strongest evidence yet that newly formed planets are in orbit there.

ALMA detects signature of oxygen from galaxy 13.28 billion light-years away

Professor Roger Blandford of Stanford receives the 2018 Jansky Lectureship in recognition of his numerous contributions to the advancement of radio astronomy. He will deliver a series of public lectures in Charlottesville, Virginia; Socorro, New Mexico; and Green Bank, West Virginia.

An important milestone was reached with the publication of the 1000th peer-reviewed paper using ALMA data.

NRAO’s CDL led the development of a new and improved version of a Phased Array Feed.

ALMA has uncovered 14 distant galaxies that are poised to merge, forming the core of what will eventually become a colossal galaxy cluster.
