Image: Snapshots of the time evolution of a collision of two spiral galaxies with black holes at their center from a computer simulation. Color indicates temperature and brightness the gas density.

The first time I heard about galaxies without dark matter, I was sitting in my very first graduate class at the University of São Paulo. A team had found a small, strange galaxy that appeared to ...

The study of galaxies and their star formation processes remains a cornerstone of modern astrophysics. Galaxies are the fundamental building blocks of the Universe, each hosting a complex interplay of ...

The Small Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy visible to the naked eye from the Southern Hemisphere, is being reshaped by a violent collision with its larger companion galaxy, and astronomers have now ...

Ultramassive black holes (UMBHs), observed to be tens of billions of times the Sun's mass, pose a theoretical challenge regarding their rapid formation early in the universe. A proposed hypothesis, ...
