We present copper abundances for 14 red giant stars in the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr dSph), showing that [Cu/Fe] is deficient by similar to 0.5 dex, relative to the Galactic trend. This ...

We outline the results of a study of the chemical composition of 14 stars in the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr dSph). For the Sgr dSph stars with [Fe/H >= - 1 the abundances are highly ...

The Large Magellanic Cloud is a dwarf galaxy residing near our Milky Way, visible to the naked eye as a luminous patch of light from Earth's southern hemisphere and named after Portuguese explorer ...

A black hole might conjure images of a dark, quiet void, but never-seen-before images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope reveals the centre of the Milky Way looks more like fireworks.
