Researchers using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT) have identified a vibrant, ...

A compact stellar corpse in our own galaxy has just delivered one of the strangest surprises in recent astrophysics: a vast, ...

Astronomers from our Physics department have discovered a striking and unexplained shock wave surrounding a dead star. The ...

Hypersonic flow and shock wave dynamics represent a critical domain in aerospace science, where the physics of high-speed fluid motion are explored under extreme thermodynamic and chemical conditions.

The clash of two galaxy clusters in Abell 2146 is teaching astronomers about the kinds of "collisionless" shock waves that occur in our own solar system. When you purchase through links on our site, ...

This may come as a shock, if you're moving fast enough. The shock being shock waves. A balloon's 'pop' is shock waves generated by exploded bits of the balloon moving faster than the speed of sound.

The control of small structures and fast modes needs not only more accurate values in the commonly used dimensions (, u, T, P), but also, in fact more essentially, the controls from more dimensions.

Gas and dust flowing from stars can, under the right conditions, clash with a star’s surroundings and create a shock wave.
