Nature Astronomy, Published online: 19 February 2024; doi:10.1038/s41550-024-02195-x A black hole at the centre of a quasar at a redshift of z = 4 is accreting the mass of the Sun every day. The quasar’s extreme luminosity is equivalent to 50,000 times

Nature Astronomy, Published online: 19 February 2024; doi:10.1038/s41550-024-02209-8 A dynamical model using the spatially resolved kinematics of galaxies in the CALIFA survey shows that galaxy assembly depends on both the stellar mass and the dynamical mass (which includes stars plus

Nature Astronomy, Published online: 15 February 2024; doi:10.1038/s41550-024-02211-0 Binary neutron star mergers are complex to understand astrophysically. A small piece of the puzzle may now have been solved using a computationally intensive simulation to explain how short gamma-ray bursts can
