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, ...

In new simulations, 'dark atoms' formed dark stars and could even trigger the formation of black holes. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

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 ...

Astronomers studying galaxy evolution have long struggled to understand what causes star formation to shut down in massive galaxies. Although many theories have been proposed to explain this process, ...
