A team of astronomers using the GBT and VLBA has identified possibly the coldest, faintest white dwarf star ever detected.
Gigantic Explosion Buried in Dust: ALMA Probes Environment around Gamma Ray Bursts
Researchers using ALMA report the first-ever detection of molecular gas — the fuel for star formation — in two galaxies that were previously rocked by gamma ray bursts.
‘Death Stars’ in Orion Blast Planets before They Even Form
A team of astronomers from Canada and the United States has used the ALMA Telescope to study the often deadly relationship between highly luminous O-type stars and nearby protostars in the Orion Nebula.
Supernova’s Super Dust Factory Imaged with ALMA
Galaxies can be remarkably dusty places and supernovas are thought to be a primary source of that dust, especially in the early Universe.
Pulsar in Stellar Triple System
Astronomers using the GBT have discovered a unique stellar system of two white dwarf stars and a superdense neutron star, all packed within a space smaller than Earth’s orbit around the Sun.
New Studies Give Boost to Binary Star Formation Theory
Using the new capabilities of the upgraded VLA, scientists have discovered previously unseen binary companions to a pair of very young protostars.
