An innovative astronomical spectrograph (WIFIS) has achieved “first light.” It was developed by a team including U of Toronto and Dunlap astronomers,

Astronomers have released an image of a vast filament of star-forming gas, 1200 light-years away, in the stellar nursery of the Orion Nebula.

For the first time, astronomers have detected a magnetic field associated with the Magellanic Bridge, the filament of gas stretching 75 thousand light-years between the Milky Way Galaxy’s nearest galactic neighbours: the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds.

Using a novel method, a team of astronomers has performed the most comprehensive search yet for a radio signal from the cosmic web.

With a new survey, astronomers have found “Peter Pan” radio galaxies that may never grow up.

Using a novel method and Gaia data, U of Toronto astronomers have estimated the speed of the Sun and its distance from the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Astronomers have found a group of stars overtaking the Sun in its orbit around the Milky Way Galaxy–evidence that our Galaxy’s spiral arms will disappear.

CHARIS, a powerful new instrument designed to search for Jupiter-like exoplanets, reached its critical “first-light” milestone in November 2016.

A Dunlap astrophysicist and an amateur astronomer have revealed surprising details about an unusual millisecond pulsar (MSP) binary system.

John Antoniadis, a Dunlap Fellow at the Dunlap Institute, University of Toronto, has been awarded a prestigious Polanyi Prize in Physics.
