After 9 months of number crunching on a powerful supercomputer, a beautiful spiral galaxy matching our own Milky Way emerged from a computer simulation of the physics involved in galaxy formation ...

The findings cast doubt on previous theories of galaxy formation by demonstrating that star production in the early Universe was significantly more efficient than believed.

The impending merger of the two galaxies hints at what might be in store for the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy if and ...

York University and an international team of astrophysicists have made an ambitious attempt to simulate the formation of galaxies and cosmic large-scale structure throughout staggeringly large ...

Using a new computer model of galaxy formation, researchers have shown that growing black holes release a blast of energy that fundamentally regulates galaxy evolution and black hole growth itself.

"All but one of Andromeda’s 37 satellite galaxies are contained within 107° of our Galaxy. In standard cosmological simulations, less than 0.3% (0.5% when accounting for possible observational ...

Researchers have discovered a distant disc galaxy that has surprisingly similar characteristics to our own Milky Way, and it could change our understanding of how galaxies form.

This modification in the cosmological model helps address the puzzle of small galaxy sizes observed in the early universe, allowing for more accurate observations.
