Galactic filaments are the largest known structures in the universe — vast strands of galaxies and dark matter stretching ...

Astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have uncovered massive filamentary structures near Sagittarius A*, the Milky Way’s central black hole. These hot gas filaments, stretching dozens of ...

The universe is a cosmic web, woven from vast filaments that connect galaxies and clusters. Elena Pinetti explains how these ...

Clusters of galaxies represent the most massive bound structures in the Universe, where the high galaxy density and hot intracluster medium foster a variety of processes that drive galactic evolution.

Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) lie at the heart of the most massive galaxies within clusters, where they regulate the thermal and dynamical state of the surrounding intracluster medium (ICM). Through ...
