A groundbreaking study led by Dr. Sukanya Chakrabarti, in collaboration with Dr. Peter Craig, has introduced a more precise ...

Dr. Sukanya Chakrabarti, the Pei-Ling Chan Endowed Chair at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The ...

Using millions of simulations and AI, astronomers discovered the Milky Way’s black hole spins near top speed. The ...

AI has helped astronomers crack open some of the universe s best-kept secrets by analyzing massive datasets about black holes ...

But mapping the galaxy's structure is just one part of the story. Astronomers can also learn about the Milky Way's rotation by studying the redshift and blueshift of the 21 cm radiation.

Using a neural network trained with simulations of supermassive black holes, astronomers have found that the one at the ...

Astronomers have located a rare exoplanet on the edge of the Milky Way.

“Seeing a galaxy with such similarities to our own Milky Way, that is strongly rotation-dominated, challenges our understanding of how quickly galaxies in the early Universe evolve into the ...

Traditionally, it has been considered that the Milky Way’s rotation speed is too low to significantly affect astronomical observations. However, if this effect is playing a larger role than previously ...
