The Sagittarius dwarf satellite galaxy is viewed from Earth through the Fermi bubbles and is marked by elongated streams of gas and stars that were ripped from the galaxy's core as its tight orbit ...

Parts of the galactic disk have been found to be vibrating as a result of a close (galactically speaking) encounter with the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy. Stars move for many reasons, including to ...

In new research published in Nature Astronomy, we show the cocoon is caused by gamma rays emitted by fast-spinning extreme stars called “millisecond pulsars” located in the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy, ...

The center of our galaxy is blowing ... gas and many of its stars have been ripped from its core into elongated streams. Given that the Sagittarius dwarf is completely quiescent -- it has no ...

Instead, it’s a much closer match to stars found in small galaxies that orbit our own, like the Small Magellanic Cloud and the Sagittarius Dwarf galaxy. The researchers hypothesize that S0-6’s ...

This dwarf galaxy merged with the Milky Way around 10 billion years ago, added at least eight globular clusters and some 50 billion solar masses' worth of stars, gas and dark matter. It is ...

It is the remnant of a much larger galaxy that the Milky Way's strong gravitational field has literally ripped apart. Indeed, stars pulled out of the Sagittarius dwarf can be found in "tails" that ...

Today, the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy is estimated to be about 400 times ... our galaxy and Sagittarius triggered baby booms of new stars in the Milky Way every time the two galaxies met.
