Journey to the centre of a galaxy cluster
What happens to a galaxy as it falls into a giant cluster? The Three Hundred simulations explore the fate of gas in these cosmic encounters.
Teaching an old dog new tricks: Applying color-magnitude diagrams to semi-resolved galaxies
Applying color-magnitude diagrams to distant, semi-resolved galaxies may break new ground in understanding stellar populations on a massive scale.
Putting Supermassive Black Holes on the Scale
A novel approach to estimate their mass may help reveal the relationship between supermassive black holes and the galaxies they inhabit.
The Circle of Life… of Black Holes
Today’s post presents SIMBA, a cosmological simulation that focuses on understanding the growth and evolution of black holes and their host galaxy.
Connecting galaxy properties to their star-formation histories
Star-forming galaxies form stars at different rates. Could this be the model that reveals the underlying physics?
Small, but Mighty! A galaxy robbed of its stars but contains a supermassive secret.
Today’s post looks at the investigation of a very small galaxy hosting a black hole that’s 15% of its total mass. This paper investigates whether this was once a much bigger galaxy, but has been robbed of its stars by a close call with another nearby galaxy.
