Is the Milky Way special? Or, as Dr. Marla Geha would like to know, are the satellite galaxies around the Milky Way special? Learn more at Dr. Geha’s #AAS238 plenary talk!
Teenage Galaxy Eludes Authorities
A newly discovered dwarf galaxy near the Local Group appears to be young and lonely and it shut off star formation. What could be responsible for the quenching if there are no nearby bright galaxies?
Dwarfs from ELVES: The structure of dwarf satellite galaxies
How does the structure of the smallest galaxies vary with different environments? Today’s authors use the ELVES survey to investigate!
Reconstructing the Galactic merger history with machine learning
Astronomers use machine learning to reconstruct past mergers that the Milky Way experienced.
UR: Analyzing Star Clusters in Dwarf Mergers: A Study of dm1529+26
Today’s #UndergradResearch post by Tehreem Hai looks at a special type of galaxy merger — a merger of dwarf galaxies — and the star clusters within them!
Galactic thick discs bursting onto the scene
The Milky Way’s disc is made up of two components — but where did they come from?
