The greatest cosmic movie ever made: Vera C. Rubin Observatory starts the Legacy Survey of Space and Time
A new era of astronomy and astrophysics begins, as the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory launches LSST, the most comprehensive cinematic record of the Universe. The initiative involves a Polish consortium composed of eight institutions, led by the National Centre for Nuclear Research.
Cosmic bow and arrow: a supersonic radio galaxy tracing a giant bow shock?
An international team co-led by Dr Pratik Dabhade of the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) has discovered a remarkable bow-and-arrow-shaped radio galaxy with a giant arc-like structure extending nearly 1.8 million light-years.
Largest Ever Radio Sky Survey Maps the Universe in Unprecedented Detail
An international collaboration using the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) has unveiled an exceptionally detailed radio sky map, revealing 13.7 million cosmic sources and delivering the most complete census yet of actively growing supermassive black holes. It showcases an extraordinary variety of systems powered by these black holes, whose radio emission can extend for millions of light-years. The newly released LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS-DR3) marks a major milestone in radio astronomy and international scientific collaboration. The result is published in Astronomy & Astrophysics.
Silent Giants, Hidden Fuel: ALMA Reveals Surprising Diversity of Dust and Gas in Quiescent Galaxies
New ALMA observations reveal that diverse reservoirs of dust and molecular gas can persist long after galaxies stop forming stars, challenging theoretical expectations.
NCBJ joins the European astroparticle physics initiative EuCAPT
A group of researchers from the National Centre for Nuclear Research, in cooperation with scientists from institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences, has joined the European scientific initiative EuCAPT. The NCBJ is among the first Polish centres to join this international collaboration.
Discovery of the Most Powerful Odd Radio Circle to Date
Astronomers have discovered the most distant and most powerful “odd radio circle” (ORC) ever observed – with key contributions from a researcher at the Astrophysics division of the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ).
