This week we’re celebrating this year’s astronomical awardees for the Nobel Prize in Physics. First up, Prof. Andrea Ghez and the mysteries of the Galactic Center!
Feedback from AGN-driven Winds
Are the winds emanating from an AGN strong enough to shut-off star formation?
How to quench a galaxy
How central and satellite galaxies transition from star forming to quiescent
It Isn’t Gatorade Quenching This Galaxy
Post-starburst galaxies have stopped forming new stars, but astronomers are still trying to figure out why. Today’s paper looks at an unusual galaxy to see what might be quenching its star formation.
Investigating Black Hole Formation
In today’s bite, Keir reports on recent black hole mass measurements and what they say about how black holes may have formed in the early Universe
The starry, dusty origin of a galaxy cluster at z = 4!
We shed some light on the inner workings of an ultra-red, massive cluster core spotted at high redshift!
