Active galactic nuclei are commonly observed in large galaxies, but what about small galaxies? Today’s paper explores the effects of the universe’s largest and loudest black holes in the universe’s smallest galaxies.
Who is responsible for the death of star formation in galaxies?
Today’s paper investigates the star-forming histories of early galaxies and finds that galaxies form their stars in bursts, interspersed with lulls.
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.
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.
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!
