In order to clarify the origin of these objects, we have used self-consistent numerical simulations to study the dynamical evolution a nucleated dwarf galaxy would undergo if orbiting the centre of ...

Gaia has also strengthened the hypothesis that our own yellow dwarf star formed much further in towards the center of our galaxy. Over the course of our sun’s 4.6-billion-year history ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured a sprinkling of stars in the Leo P dwarf galaxy, located about 5 million light years away in the constellation Leo. Their blue appearance shows ...

Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies are the faintest type of galaxy in the universe. Typically containing just a few hundred to a thousand stars—compared with the hundreds of billions that make up the ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Deep optical observations of the dwarf galaxy NGC 300 revealed a stellar stream, shells, and a globular cluster in its halo. A large stellar stream, extending ...

Leo P, a dwarf galaxy some 5.3 million light years from Earth, was discovered by McQuinn and other scientists in 2013. The celestial structure is far enough away from the Local Group, a clump of ...

Telescopes don't come any smaller than the Dwarf 3, but does its portability come at the cost of image quality? Read the ...

"These structures likely originated from a tiny galaxy that was pulled apart and absorbed into NGC 300." Together, these findings clearly reveal that even dwarf galaxies can build stellar halos ...

Astronomers studying FCC 224, an ultra-diffuse galaxy, have discovered luminous, overmassive globular clusters, providing key ...

NGC 300 (also known as Caldwell 70 or the Sculptor Pinwheel galaxy) is a dwarf spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor, about six million light years away. It has an estimated size of about ...

Sculptor A, one of three newly discovered dwarf galaxies - and unrelated to the well-known Sculptor spiral galaxy - is visible here as a faint accumulation of stars beyond several bright stars in ...
