Finding high redshift dead galaxies (but for real this time)

Finding high redshift dead galaxies (but for real this time)

by Sarah Bodansky | Jul 20, 2022 | Daily Paper Summaries

A new way to pick out dead galaxies may help us learn how star formation stops in the early universe.

Playing hide-and-seek with colliding dying galaxies

Playing hide-and-seek with colliding dying galaxies

by Liza Sazonova | Jul 14, 2022 | Daily Paper Summaries

Smashing with a neighbor can kill a galaxy – but is this how most of them die? Today’s authors look at mergers among the dying galaxies to find out!
