astrophysicist

A theoretical astrophysicist from the University of Kansas may have solved a nearly two-decade-old mystery over the origins of an unusual "zebra" pattern seen in high-frequency radio pulses from the Crab Nebula.

As an astrophysicist who studies faraway galaxies and black holes, I am interested in understanding the nature of these little galaxies.

With a rare star explosion expected any day now, astrophysicists are relying on a community of hobbyists with backyard telescopes to tell them when it erupts.

To answer this question, our team of astrophysicists looked back in time across the universe’s 13.8 billion-year history to track how supermassive black holes have grown from the early days to today.

Newberg, a renowned astrophysicist and Milky Way expert, and Donlon focused on the so-called "wrinkles" in our galaxy, which are formed when other galaxies collide with the Milky Way.
