Newburgh is co-author of a pair of new...
Researchers have discovered the brightest quasar yet known, detected from the period when the universe’s star-making hydrogen gas became ionized, known as “reionization.”
The international research team found the quasar’s exceptional brightness to be...
It was standing room only for the latest “Project Pitch” event at the Department of Statistics and Data Science, in which faculty members outlined research projects that could use a helping hand from a young data scientist.
The topics came from across the...
A new study led by Yale University astronomers tells the story of a galaxy that ran out of gas.
It’s a story as old as the universe itself: A galaxy is born, brimming with new stars, its spiral arms stretching and curving. But then it runs into trouble,...
The heavens delivered a bit of scientific vindication to Yale professor of astronomy and physics Priyamvada Natarajan recently, when her 20-year-old theory about winds from distant black holes was proven correct.
In 1999, when she was a graduate student...
