Globular clusters are dense groups of hundreds of thousands to millions of stars that orbit galaxies such as the Milky Way.

A team including Northwestern University astrophysicists has developed the most realistic, highest-resolution 3D simulation of star formation to date. The result is a visually stunning, mathematically ...

The world's most powerful supercomputer dedicated to astronomy simulations was recently used to simulate the formation of a cluster of baby stars. Astronomers at the National Astronomical Observatory ...

Astronomers have developed a new model for simulating how clusters of baby stars form and evolve, helping to explain how bubbles of ionized gas are created away from the heart of a galaxy. Stellar ...

Star cluster forming in a giant molecular cloud reproduced by the simulation. This image is based on the simulation. Blue dots represent individual stars. Dark and bright color indicate the gas ...

Astronomers have developed a new code to simulate the formation of a cluster of baby stars. Comparison with the well-known real case of the Orion Nebula shows that its off-center bubble of ionized gas ...

Astronomers use simulations to discover how globular clusters form and reveal a new type of star system near the Milky Way.

New simulations suggest globular clusters form in multiple ways and point to a mysterious new type of star system that may ...

For generations, astronomers have pondered the origins of globular clusters, which are among the universe’s oldest and densest star systems ...

Research teams from the UK, USA, Sweden, and other nations have successfully unraveled the origin of globular clusters, a puzzle that has troubled astronomers for centuries, through high-precision ...
