This galaxy simulation can fit so many stars and gas particles in it
Simulating an entire galaxy is not easy if you want your result sometime this century. But today’s paper brings us a neat trick that might just help speed things up.
Resolving the Star Formation History of Dwarf Galaxies
Studying dwarf galaxies provides unique insights to galaxy evolution. Today’s paper explores how resolving stellar populations of isolated galaxies allows us to determine their star formation history!
Observing the End of Star Formation in Galaxies
These galaxies are on the brink of entering their “quiet” phase.
Fast metal factories at z ~ 5, lessons from ALPINE-CRISTAL-JWST
JWST reveals galaxies that built up heavy elements at record speed, reaching near-modern metallicities only a billion years after the Big Bang.
A Triple Black Hole System Caught in the Act of Self-Quenching
Three active black holes, tangled jets, and fading light. This galaxy merger is a cosmic drama in action.
When Galaxies Get Clumpy: JWST Maps the Birth and Death of Star-Forming Clumps
You think stars form quietly? Think again. In the early universe, galaxies were packed with star-forming clumps. Some disrupted quickly, while others survived. Today’s paper reveals which lived and which died young.
