A new Canadian radio telescope is mapping the Universe in 3D, searching for FRBs and clues to Dark Energy.
A team of astronomers has observed the magnetic field of a galaxy five billion light-years from Earth, providing insight into how magnetism in the Universe formed and evolved.
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.
