Maunakea telescope tunes into music of nearby star, unveils surprising discovery
The study used a new cutting-edge instrument at the W.M. Keck Observatory called the Keck Planet Finder.
Astronomers find evidence challenging conventional galaxy formation models
Astronomers using W. M. Keck Observatory at Maunakea on Hawaiʻi Island have found compelling evidence of a dark matter-deficient dwarf galaxy, FCC 224. The discovery challenges the traditional cosmological paradigm, which assumes dark matter is a fundamental component in galaxy formation.
How have galaxies flowed across 700 million light years? Astronomers trace their paths
In a major new study, a team of four astronomers from the University of Hawaiʻi Institute for Astronomy and two other universities has traced the movement of 10,000 galaxies and clusters of galaxies, the dominant congregations of matter, within 350 million light-years. The study has been accepted for publication in Astrophysical Journal.
UH: Unparalleled Bounty of Oscillating Red Giant Stars Detected
An unprecedented collection of pulsating giant red stars has been identified by astronomers at the University of Hawaiʻi Institute for Astronomy. Using observations from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, the researchers detected the stars, whose rhythms arise from internal sound waves and provide the opening chords of a symphonic exploration of our galactic neighborhood.
