Distant galaxies that abruptly stopped making stars have puzzled astronomers for years. About 9 billion years ago, during one ...

In the intriguing realm of star-forming galaxies, the key factor isn't the total amount of gas but rather its strategic distribution within the galaxy. Researchers at the International Centre for ...

Astronomers have discovered a vast, dense cluster of massive galaxies just 1 billion years after the Big Bang, each forming stars at an intense rate from collapsing clouds of dust. Reported in ...

An international team led by UNIGE shows that red and dead galaxies can be found only 700 million years after the Big Bang, indicating that galaxies stop forming stars earlier than predicted by models ...

The Puzzle of Early Galactic Giants In the standard picture of galaxy formation, large halos of dark matter form first. Their ...

Researchers have used the ALMA telescope and found old elliptical galaxies in the universe can form from intense star formation within early galaxy cores. An international team of researchers ...

Radio emission provides a powerful, dust‐unbiased window onto the processes that govern star formation across cosmic time. Galaxies forming stars generate thermal free–free emission in H II regions ...

For decades, astronomers have searched for the birthplace of globular clusters, the dense spherical collections of stars that ...
