Galactic thick discs bursting onto the scene
The Milky Way’s disc is made up of two components — but where did they come from?
UR: Using Machine Learning to Identify Transients in the DESI Survey
Today’s undergraduate post talks about how to use machine learning to find transients in galactic spectra!
UR: Understanding the Balance of Star Formation and Black Holes in Nearby Luminous Infrared Galaxies
In today’s #UndergradResearch post, Meredith Stone shares how she used Spitzer spectra to learn about the evolution of galaxies through their star formation and AGN activity.
A Resolved Starburst Merger and an Unresolved Dust Problem
What’s going on behind the dust in starburst galaxy SHiZELS-14? Today’s authors use highly resolved data to find out!
Distant, Dusty Galaxy Hiding in the Dark
Today’s authors discover a distant galaxy cloaked in dusty darkness, and consider what it might reveal about galaxy evolution in the early Universe
A Sip of Reionisation to Quench the Smallest Dwarf Galaxies
Did local Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxies get quenched by the Milky Way or by Reionisation? Today’s authors use cosmological simulations to find out!
