Astronomers using the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii have identified a massive planet and a brown dwarf orbiting distant stars, marking the first discoveries from the Observing Accelerators with SCExAO Imaging Survey (OASIS). The program combines precision space astrometry with Subaru's high-contrast imaging to reveal companions that are otherwise hidden in the glare of their host stars. These resul

From large magnetic loops hundreds of times larger than Earth, to tiny features that blink in and out of existence, our home star is far more dynamic than most of us realize.

A research team at the University of Amsterdam has developed a new general-relativistic model that shows how gravitational waves from black holes can be used to reveal dark matter and constrain its properties. The model follows in detail how a massive black hole interacts with its surrounding matter and how this interaction alters the emitted gravitational-wave signal.
