So, you’ve been stargazing with your naked eyes or a set of binoculars, but you’re eager to see further and more detail. It might be time for a telescope. But how do you get started? “A telescope is a ...

Peculiar motions of galaxies refers to departures from pure Hubble flow that are expected from the gravitation perturbation of overdense and underdense regions, e.g, superclusters and voids. For three ...

Carnegie's newest scientific division, Biosphere Sciences & Engineering, is devoted to disrupting the traditional, siloed perspective on research in the life sciences and pursuing an integrated ...

We report two low-mass companions orbiting the nearby K7 dwarf GJ 221 that have emerged from reanalyzing 4.4 yr of publicly available HARPS spectra complemented with 2 years of high-precision Doppler ...

Carnegie Science researchers are given the time, the resources, and the community to ask big questions and forge new paths of discovery.

Ocean acidification threatens many marine organisms, especially marine calcifiers. The only global-scale solution to ocean acidification remains rapid reduction in CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, ...

At the 2022 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, postdoc Ming Hao received the Mineral and Rock Physics Graduate Research Award for his graduate work on the seismic visibility of eclogite. We ...

The spatial extent of an extreme precipitation event can be important for a basin's hydrologic response and subsequent flood risk, and may yield insights into underlying atmospheric processes. Using a ...

The existence of optical-ultraviolet Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) could be considered surprising because their electromagnetic output was originally predicted to be dominated by X-ray emission from ...

Magma viscosity strongly controls the style (for example, explosive versus effusive) of a volcanic eruption and thus its hazard potential, but can only be measured during or after an eruption. The ...

When we look at planets in or beyond our Solar System, we see an atmosphere and perhaps a surface—if the atmosphere is thin enough—but their interiors are hidden from view. How can we determine what ...

A record-setting pristine star provides a window into the dawn of stars and galaxies in the universe. This groundbreaking find connects the work of two telescopes at Carnegie Science's Las Campanas ...
