How old is that galaxy, really? Constraining the color-redshift relation with DESI
Today’s authors present a dataset that seeks to improve our understanding of the ages of faraway galaxies.
Signs of (Pre-)Life: Can JWST Detect Conditions for the Formation of Earth-like Life on Distant Planets?
Signs of life on other worlds might be detectable with today’s instruments – but can JWST detect the signs of conditions where life could form? Today’s authors try to answer this question.
Can you tell if a star got too close to a black hole?
The authors of today’s paper study emission lines in a spectrum to determine if they are caused by a star falling into a black hole!
