A clear view on magnetic stars through a beautiful nebula
An international team of astronomers have solved a stellar mystery utilizing new data from the European Southern Observatory (ESO), and confirm prior research by HITS researchers on how some massive stars acquired their strong magnetic fields. Astronomers and astrophysicists are…

The Universal Sound of Black Holes
They are mysterious, exciting and inescapable – black holes are some of the most exotic objects in the Universe. With gravitational-wave detectors, it is possible to detect the chirp sound that two black holes produce when they merge, approximately 70 such chirps have been found…

More than just a game: How long can there be life on Earth?
I am thrilled to share the news that my research team at the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS) receive 10,000 Euros in the university competition “Our Universe” for developing a board game on the habitability of planets. How can research be made accessible and…

The invisible needle in a stellar haystack
An international research team with the participation of HITS discovered a “dormant” black hole in a binary-star system outside our galaxy. These black holes are very difficult to find because they do not emit X-ray radiation. Analysing data from six years of observations with…

The irresistible pull – when massive stars collide
All neutron stars are magnetic, but some are more magnetic than others. The latter, so-called magnetars, are the strongest magnets in the Universe. The reason for their exceptionally large magnetic field is most probably that they formed in supernovae of already highly…

Weighing massive stars in nearby galaxy reveals excess of heavyweights
An international team of Astronomers have revealed an astonishing overabundance of very massive stars in the gigantic star-forming region 30 Doradus in our neighbouring galaxy the Large Magellanic Cloud. This discovery has far-reaching consequences for our understanding of how…

Hubble unveils monster stars
30 Doradus, once thought to be the 30th brightest star in the constellation Doradus in the southern hemisphere, is now known to be a massive star-forming region harbouring several record-holding objects such as the fastest spinning and most massive stars known. Sometimes also…
