Thu, 2025-05-15Are We Alone? And Where Do We Come From? An international team of researchers led by Peking University PhD student Fengwei Xu has conducted a most sensitive, highest-resolution, and dual-band survey of three distant molecular clouds in the Milky Way Galactic center. Equipped with sharp color-discerning "eyes", they have discovered more than 300 protoplanetary disk candidates, some of which could represent the early stages of our own solar system. The studies inspire further investigations of protoplanetary disk in various environment.

Fri, 2025-03-28A research team led by Professor Liu Fukun from the Department of Astronomy at the School of Physics of Peking University and the Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics recently discovered that the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, Sgr A*, merged with an intermediate black hole about 10 million years ago. When stars get too close to a supermassive black hole, they can be thrown out at high speeds and become a hypervelocity star. By analyzing the velocity distribution of these hypervelocity stars in the Milky Way halo, the team found that between 50 and 250 million years ago, an intermediate-mass black hole of approximately 15,000 times the mass of the Sun existed near the supermassive black hole Sgr A* at the Galactic center.
