A team from Western University has captured the first-ever detailed view of the planetary nebula Tc 1, birthplace of the discovery of cosmic buckyballs.
An international team, including researchers from the University of Calgary, have uncovered a "monster" black hole not anchored in the middle of its host galaxy.
Researchers from York University have uncovered that the Milky Way began with a chaotic phase before becoming the structured and stable spiral we see today.
Using Canada's Near-Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectograph, astronomers from the Université de Montréal captured the most complete image to date of an exoplanet's atmosphere escaping into space.
A team led by McGill University has observed a giant cloud of helium gas evaporating from a distant giant exoplanet called WASP-107b, revealing crucial clues about how gas giants lose mass and evolve.
Using Canada's Near-Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectograph, researchers from McGill University and collaborating institutions have mapped the irregular clouds and chaotic climate of SIMP 0136, a brown dwarf drifting alone in space.
Thanks to Canada's Near-Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectograph, an international team led by Ryan C. Challener (Cornell University) and Megan Weiner Mansfield (University of Maryland) obtained the first-ever spectroscopic map of the dayside of an exoplanet, WASP-18 b.
Researchers at Western University have discovered CH3+ molecules where they shouldn't exist in the Butterfly Nebula (NGC 6302), a clue to help understand how complex carbon molecules form in space.
Based on observations of the exoplanet TRAPPIST-1, researchers from the Université de Montréal suggested it's still too soon to confirm that Earth-sized exoplanets could be habitable.
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers led by doctoral student Louis-Philippe Coulombe investigate the extreme weather patterns and atmospheric properties of LTT 9779 b.
A Canadian-led team of international astronomers has made a groundbreaking discovery about how young planets form and grow using a creative approach with unique tools of the James Webb Space Telescope.
