UR: Exploring the Circumgalactic Medium of Quasars: A Search for Nearby Interacting Galaxies
In today’s #UndergradResearch post, Cynthia Ibrahim looks at quasar fields and galaxies within the quasar’s virial radius to determine if there is a relationship between galaxy distance from quasar and their star formation rates.
