Researchers Unveil Axion-Torsion Coupling via Dark Photons

Researchers discovered a special effect induced by dark photons within the framework of the Einstein–Cartan–Holst theory for the first time. They also determined a key physical parameter—the BI parameter.A large portion of the universe is filled with invisible matter known as dark matter, and the dark photon is one of its leading theoretical candidates. As a hypothetical particle beyond the Standard Model, the dark photon exhibits electr...

Unveiling the Birth of Star Cluster Groups in the Milky Way

researchers have discovered four previously unrecognized primordial OC groups in the Milky Way.While star formation is generally understood to occur in a clustered mode, giving rise to open clusters (OCs), it remains an open question whether OCs predominantly form in isolation or also as part of larger, structured groupings.Recent...

Searching for Radio Signals from Magnetars with FAST

Researchers conducted observations of four magnetars and one magnetar-like pulsar using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). The study revealed the "radio-quiet" characteristics of these extreme celestial ob...Recently, Ph.D. student BAI Juntao from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory, under the supervision of Prof. WANG Na, conducted a comprehensive search for radio emissions from four magnetars and one magnetar-like pulsar using the Five-h...

Scientists Propose Unified Framework for Understanding Astrophysical Outflows

The researchers have developed a novel theoretical model that successfully explains astrophysical outflow phenomena spanning twelve orders of magnitude, from protostars to supermassive black holes.A recent collaboration between Professor Willem Baan of the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory and Professor Tao An of the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory has yielded important results. They have developed a novel theoretical model that...
