On the Hunt: Molecular Hydrogen in Leo P
Considering that molecular hydrogen is the most abundant molecule in the universe, you’d think it’d be easier to find.
A sneak peek into early universe star formation with Boötes I
Today’s authors hunt for evidence of a universal IMF using JWST observations of local relic galaxy Boötes I!
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.
Blast from the Past: Determining a Distance to I Zwicky 18
Take a walk down memory lane with I Zwicky 18, which could be the key to unlocking the secrets of the early universe.
Black Holes Eating Stellar Shedding
Stars shed material as they shine, and today’s authors think this may be enough to power X-ray emission from a massive black hole!
Resolving the Star Formation History of Dwarf Galaxies
Studying dwarf galaxies provides unique insights to galaxy evolution. Today’s paper explores how resolving stellar populations of isolated galaxies allows us to determine their star formation history!
