Colossal collisions and how they’ve shaped the Milky Way
In today’s paper, astronomers show how massive collisions have shaped some of the properties of galaxies over time, giving insight into the formation of our own Milky Way.
The Metallicity Mystery of Mrk 71
In today’s paper, astronomers have accurately determined the properties of a nearby, giant star-forming region in the galaxy NGC 2366.
Good evening passengers. Welcome on board your Boeing 747 flight to a stellar nursery
In today’s paper, find out how a flying telescope can help astronomers learn more about the birthplaces of stars and planetary systems.
Mass + metals + making history = constraining the mass-metallicity relation with JWST
Investigating the physical properties of galaxies is key to our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution. With the power of the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers are now able to investigate properties of huge numbers of galaxies in the early Universe.
