The quest for galactic relics from the primordial Universe
They are massive, they are very small and they are extremely rare, but may hold the secrets of how galaxies form and evolve.
A new study lifts the tip of the... read more ❯
A Universe Aglow
Observations made with the MUSE spectrograph, with the collaboration of Instituto de Astrofísica e Ciências do Espaço (IA), allowed for direct detection of the invisible glow of Lyman-alpha emission, from... read more ❯
