First the galaxy is dominated by the disk component (left) but active star formation occurs in the huge dust and gas cloud at the center of the galaxy (center). Then the galaxy is dominated by the ...

This energetic feedback heats, ejects, or otherwise disrupts the galaxy’s gas supply, preventing the infall of gas from the galaxy’s halo to feed star formation. “The idea is that in star-forming ...

This galaxy stands out for its unprecedented light signature—its gas is outshining its stars, a phenomenon that could represent a missing link in the understanding of galaxy formation and evolution.

Using a new computer model of galaxy formation, researchers have shown that growing black holes release a blast of energy that fundamentally regulates galaxy evolution and black hole growth itself.

The James Webb Telescope has detected GS-NDG-9422, a galaxy that existed 1 billion years after the Big Bang. Its exceptional brightness is attributed to space gas heated by extremely hot, massive ...

The James Webb Space Telescope discovered a so-called "dead" galaxy that is the oldest known of its kind, having stopped its star formation more than 13 billion years ago.
