Carnegie Science's mission is to advance investigation, research, and discovery, and to apply that knowledge for the improvement of humankind. We empower world-class investigators to pursue the ...

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.

So, you’ve been stargazing with your naked eyes or a set of binoculars, but you’re eager to see further and more detail. It might be time for a telescope. But how do you get started? “A telescope is a ...

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 ...

We present extensive optical photometry of the afterglow of GRB 221009A. Our data cover 0.9-59.9 days from the time of Swift and Fermi gamma-ray burst (GRB) detections. Photometry in rizy-band filters ...

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 ...

This heavy cast-iron embosser, made in the early 1900s, once gave Carnegie Science’s identity weight (literally, it's very heavy). Press its handle down, and the metal die stamps an impression of the ...

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 ...

Magma viscosity strongly controls the style (for example, explosive versus effusive) of a volcanic eruption and thus its hazard potential, but can only be measured during or after an eruption. The ...
