Some of the darkest objects in the universe are also among its brightest beacons, lighting up entire galaxies while their ...

A team of computational astrophysicists has developed a simulation that explains the behavior of matter around black holes.

Learn how researchers used Einstein’s theory of general relativity to create the most accurate simulations to date.

As planetary systems evolve, gravitational interactions between planets can fling some of them into eccentric elliptical orbits around the host star, or even out of the system altogether. Smaller ...

Artist's conception of early starbursting galaxies. UC Davis astronomers collaborated on new simulations showing how bright galaxies could emerge early in the universe. Stars and galaxies are shown in ...

Stars that wander too close to supermassive black holes may be violently undone in a process called "spaghettification." New simulations provide the most detailed look ever at the gory interaction.
