Re-analysis of Milky Way"s central supermassive black hole shows elongated structure
A research team led by Assistant Professor Makoto Miyoshi of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) has independently re-analyzed observation data of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy obtained and publis.....»»
Search results for dark photon leptonic decays manage to exclude new regions
Dark photons are hypothetical particles that resemble light particles (i.e., photons), but interact weakly with normal matter, which would make them impossible or very difficult to detect using conventional experimental methods. These particles are d.....»»
