Highly excited and concentrated: an academic stereotype or the gas in a galaxy?
Much like some astronomers, this distant galaxy keeps the lights on by maintaining high excitement and a central concentration (of hot gas)
Quench your inner star formation
Does one galaxy’s star formation quench another’s? Find out in today’s astrobite.
Bright galaxies blowing bubbles
Today’s paper takes a clear view of bubbles blown by bright galaxies in the Epoch of Reionization
Big, bright, bursty, AND early: what are the odds?
Just how rare is this hyperluminous heavily obscured active galactic nucleus in a dusty starburst in the early Universe?
Explaining Ancient Stellar Populations
Why do some dwarf galaxies exhibit such old stellar populations? Perhaps simulations of reionization including radiative transfer can help to explain this peculiar trait.
The First Molecule in the Universe
SOFIA observations have detected HeH+ in the planetary nebula NGC 7027, shedding new light on the dawn of chemistry in the universe.
