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.

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 ...

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

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 ...

Well-understood physical and chemical processes can easily explain the alleged evidence of a secret, large-scale atmospheric spraying program, commonly referred to as “chemtrails” or “covert ...

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 ...

Washington, DC—The interiors of ice giant planets like Uranus and Neptune could be home to a previously unknown state of matter, according to new computational simulations by Carnegie’s Cong Liu and ...

Our galaxy’s most abundant type of planet could be rich in liquid water due to formative interactions between magma oceans and primitive atmospheres during their early years. New experimental work ...
