James Webb Space Telescope interferometric data indicate that hot dust near the Circinus black hole produces most infrared emission, revising earlier interpretations of outflows.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed an unprecedented view into the heart of the Circinus galaxy, located ...

Radio interferometric imaging represents a pivotal advance in astronomical observation by combining signals from distributed radio telescopes to synthesise high-resolution images of celestial objects.

The successful creation of a guide star above the European Southern Observatory (ESO) Paranal site in Chile with freshly installed lasers marks a new era of interferometry, according to the ESO team.

This photograph shows four lasers at ESO’s Paranal Observatory, each one launched from one of the four eight-metre telescopes on site. The launch of these lasers represents a significant milestone for ...
