Does dark matter follow the same laws as ordinary matter? The mystery of this invisible and hypothetical component of our ...

A gamma ray glow at our galaxy’s center has puzzled scientists for almost two decades. New computer simulations back the theory that dark matter could be the source.

A new study suggests the Milky Way’s gamma-ray glow could be a dark matter signal shaped by ancient galactic mergers.

An international team of researchers led by the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) has shed light on a ...

Dark energy and black holes are two of the most mysterious topics when it comes to space, but they might actually be linked. And causing the universe to expand.

"It's possible we will see the new data and confirm one theory over the other — or maybe we'll find nothing, in which case it ...

An international team of astronomers led by researchers from the Netherlands has found no trace of dark matter in the galaxy AGC 114905, despite taking detailed measurements over a course of fourty ...

We measure the “warmness” of the dark matter, i.e. the comoving root-mean-square thermal velocity v hrms (1) , with nearly 3000 spiral galaxy rotation curves in the ...

A collaboration led by scientists at Nagoya University in Japan has investigated the nature of dark matter surrounding galaxies seen as they were 12 billion years ago, billions of years further back ...

For over a decade, a dim but persistent glow near the center of the Milky Way has confused astronomers. This mysterious ...

At the heart of the Milky Way, a faint and widespread glow of gamma rays has puzzled astronomers for decades. The light could ...

A class of University of Texas astronomy students has discovered that nearby dwarf galaxy Segue-1 seems to host a ...
