Physicists are quietly rolling out a new generation of simulation codes that promise to do more than crunch numbers. By weaving together quantum theory, astrophysical data and high precision sensors, ...

Astrophysicists from The University of Hong Kong (HKU), working with a research team led by Beijing Normal University (BNU), ...

Galaxies are far more than the sum of their stars. Long before stars even formed, dark matter clumped up and drew regular matter together with its gravity, providing the invisible scaffolding upon ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Milky Way simulations show stellar streams can develop dark matter-like gaps and kinks without encounters with dark matter clumps.

New computers simulations might let scientist find where dark matter is hiding. Astronomers have long known that much our universe is made up of dark matter. But it remains entirely mysterious: it ...

Most of the stars in our Milky Way galaxy sit neatly on a flat plane. But the space around our galaxy is much more chaotic. Rogue bands of stars called "stellar streams" orbit the Milky Way much like ...

In this visualization, each dot represents a gas parcel with a mass approximately 1,000 times that of the Sun in the simulation of the cosmic Dark Ages. The left and right panels compare the cold and ...

Galactic simulations show stellar streams develop dark-matter-like irregularities without dark matter clumps, helping distinguish false signals from real ones. (Nanowerk News) Most of the stars in our ...

This is interesting of course, but the article suffers from problems. Besides the missing article link, the linked spiral arm dynamical mass excess observations are not explained by dark matter as it ...
