How does a galaxy’s past impact its present day surroundings? Today’s authors use genetically modified simulations to investigate the effect of merger histories on stellar haloes.
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.
In the latest of our #UndergradResearch series, Michael Messere investigates how the leftover debris surrounding interacting galaxies can help us understand their past.
A newly discovered Globular Cluster is one of the most massive and metal-poor in the Galaxy. In today’s paper, we examine the stars inside the cluster to see where it stands on the metal-poor podium.
Magnetic fields are everywhere and being modified by the galactic evolution around them. Learn the where’s, why’s, and how’s at Dr. Enrique López Rodríguez’s Fred Kavli Plenary lecture at #AAS238!
Astronomers use machine learning to reconstruct past mergers that the Milky Way experienced.
