The team's analysis places COSMOS-74706 at roughly 11.5 billion years in the past on the cosmic timeline, showing that barred spirals were already in place by that epoch.
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have developed the most detailed model so far of neutrinos produced by stars across the Milky Way and of how many of these particles reach Earth.
In work published online on November 24, 2025, in the Journal of Virology, the team reports the discovery of ushikuvirus, a newly isolated giant virus named after Lake Ushiku in Ibaraki Prefecture, where it was found.
The observatory is also expected to support a broad astrophysics program and contribute to planning for future human exploration of Mars, elsewhere in the solar system, and more distant targets.
To be able to mathematically capture the complex interplay between electrons and atomic nuclei and their motions in a solid, physicists had to make some simplifications.
Over ten years, researchers combined observations from ground and space telescopes to track when each planet crossed the face of V1298 Tau.
But a new study led by University of Chicago and Jet Propulsion Lab scientists has given us a deeper look at the planet by creating the most complete model to date of Jupiter's atmosphere.
The team reported its results at the 247th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Phoenix and in a study accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal.
A material's behavior is heavily influenced by its symmetries. One unique symmetry of interest to many physicists is chirality.
The study examines how such interactions could influence the formation of galaxies and other large-scale structures, addressing a known mismatch between predictions from early-universe measurements and observations of the present-day cosmos.
GoHam's disk surrounds a young star and is oriented almost edge-on, allowing a direct view of its vertical structure as the material rotates.
Bouma noted that stars affect their planets through both light and streams of particles such as stellar winds and magnetic storms, but the particle component remains difficult to characterize for distant systems.
Most of the newly cataloged anomalies are galaxies in the midst of mergers or interactions that display distorted shapes or long, trailing streams of stars and gas.
"I'm reminded of the famous 'Lucy' fossil, one of our hominid ancestors that lived 3 million years ago and was one of the 'missing links' between apes and humans," said UCLA professor of physics and astronomy and second author Erik Petigura.
The team from the University of Waterloo used an artificial intelligence driven modelling framework to estimate carbon removal under realistic northern conditions.
HALIMA integrates high resolution gamma spectroscopy with fast timing in one setup.
