A team of Chinese scientists has discovered an extremely rare pulsar that gets partially blocked by its companion star every few hours, like a cosmic game of hide-and-seek. The findings, published in the latest issue of the journal Science, could help solve long-standing mysteries about how stars evolve in pairs.
An international team of researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory, the Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics at Peking University, and the University of Cologne, has conducted the most sensitive, highest-resolution, and most complete survey to date of three representative molecular clouds in the Milky Way’s Central Molecular Zone.
A recent study by researchers from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory, Yunnan Observatories, and the University of Heidelberg, has identified four previously unknown primordial open cluster groups in the Milky Way.
Researchers led by Ph.D student Serikbek Sailanbek from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has conducted a comprehensive analysis of dense star-forming clumps across the Milky Way using ammonia data obtained from the NanShan 26-m Radio Telescope.
Chinese and foreign astronomers have achieved a breakthrough in dark energy research, offering fresh insights into the physical mechanisms behind the accelerated expansion of the universe. The findings, announced by the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) on Wednesday, suggest potential new physics beyond the standard cosmological model.
An astronomical satellite jointly developed by China and France has detected a gamma-ray burst (GRB) dating back 13 billion years, likely originating from the collapse of an early star forming a black hole or a neutron star. The discovery made by the Space-based Multi-band Variable Object Monitor (SVOM) was announced at a ceremony for China's Space Day in Shanghai on Thursday.
