Guest: Novel Clues to the Formation of Ultra-Compact Dwarf Galaxies
In today’s bite, we look at some newly observed systems in the Virgo cluster. These observations provide clues to understanding how some of the most dense galaxies known to us form.
Uncertainty is the only certainty in gravitational waveforms
Most gravitational-wave models throw away uncertainty, which could make Einstein’s theory look wrong when it isn’t. Today’s authors show when this could happen and how to take care of the problem.
Speeding Under Pressure on the Intergalactic Highway.
Using low frequency radio observations of the galaxy NGC 2276 with the uGMRT and LOFAR telescopes, the authors discover that the galaxy has a trail of gas about 100 kiloparsecs long! As the galaxy moves through the local ionised medium, the pressure exerted on it removes gas from it’s disk.
