Galactic Whodunit: The Case of the Quenched Star Formation
Who is responsible for the death of star formation in galaxies?
Baby Galaxies Love to Take 100 Million Year Naps
Today’s paper investigates the star-forming histories of early galaxies and finds that galaxies form their stars in bursts, interspersed with lulls.
Collapsing haloes and expanding voids: can modelling them help us understand the dynamics of our Universe?
In today’s bite, we look at a new approach to modelling the expansion rate of the Universe, in a way that takes into account how growing structures like voids or haloes in the Universe impact this.
Life is Like a Box of Potential Biosignatures
The authors of today’s paper put forth theoretical models of how habitable exoplanets might appear to the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) using the molecules present in the Earth’s atmosphere from earlier eons, and test if HWO will be able to detect these molecules in simulated observations.
Heavy Metal: Actinides from Compact Object Mergers
How are some of the heaviest elements on the periodic table created? Today’s authors look at how mergers between black holes and neutron stars could form these heavy metals!
