UR: Searching for Laser Signals in Optical Stellar Spectra

UR: Searching for Laser Signals in Optical Stellar Spectra

by Guest | Dec 22, 2020 | Undergraduate Research

Using new observations from the UVCANDELS survey, a possible link between recent star formation, merger frequency, and the size-mass evolution of massive, quiescent galaxies is investigated.

UR #33: Investigating the dark matter in M82 using the mass-to-light ratio

by Astrobites | Nov 25, 2020 | Undergraduate Research

Today’s undergraduate research post is all about a search for dark matter in the starburst galaxy M82!

UR: Mass segregation in star clusters: nature or nurture?

UR: Mass segregation in star clusters: nature or nurture?

by Guest | Nov 10, 2020 | Undergraduate Research

In today’s undergraduate research post, we see that massive stars are often found in the centers of stellar clusters. Are they born there or do they move there at a later stage?
