Are fainter galaxies really different than brighter ones? This study reveals that, despite being dimmer, low surface brightness galaxies obey the same fundamental laws of galaxy formation, offering new clues about how galaxies and dark matter halos evolve.
Today’s bite breaks down the Lomb–Scargle periodogram, a popular tool astronomers use to hunt for periodic signals, and explains how sometimes it fools us into seeing patterns that aren’t really there.
If our familiar red neighbor were a stranger light-years away, would we even know what we were looking at?
Literally and figuratively, Australia is closing its eyes to the future of astronomy. Where does that leave its next generation of students?
The distribution of post-starburst regions within galaxies is linked to diverse quenching pathways that are likely driven by mergers. Guest author, Emmy Wisz, explains how different star formation histories could be the key to understanding quenching mechanisms.
