When complete, ALMA will be even more sensitive, and will be able to detect even fainter galaxies, but for now the astronomers targeted the brightest of them.

Not exact matches

This 6.5 - meter mirror should enable it to detect even fainter (and therefore older) galaxies.

When the cobe satellite in 1992 mapped the faint microwave glow left over from the Big Bang, it couldn't make out structures as small as individual galaxies, or even clusters of galaxies.

«You build bigger, you go fainter, you go deeper, and you'll have a shot at a major discovery,» explains Pudritz, «So building these larger machines will no doubt allow us to study the birth of the first galaxies and even planet formation around distant stars.

Despite having run the highest - resolution simulation to date, Wetzel continues to push forward, and he is in the process of running an even higher - resolution, more - sophisticated simulation that will allow him to model the very faintest dwarf galaxies around the Milky Way.

These clusters are so massive they warp the surrounding space, forming gigantic «gravitational lenses» that amplify the faint light from galaxies even farther away, ones born less than a billion years after the big bang.

«The discovery is telling us that galaxies as faint as this one exist, and we should continue looking for them and even fainter objects so that we can understand how galaxies and the universe have evolved over time.»

A new analysis of galaxy colors, however, indicates that the farthest objects in the deep fields must be extremely intense, unexpectedly bright knots of blue - white, hot newborn stars embedded in primordial proto - galaxies that are too faint to be seen even by Hubble's far vision — as if only the lights on a distant Christmas tree were seen and so one must infer the presence of the whole tree (more discussion at: STScI; and Lanzetta et al, 2002).

Unfortunately, however, no single SFR estimator is universally available or even applicable in all circumstances: the numerous galaxies found in deep surveys are often too faint (or too distant) to yield significant detections with most standard SFR measures, and until now there have been no global, multi-band observations of nearby galaxies that span all the conditions under which star - formation is taking place.

Scientists believe that understanding the origin and nature of FRBs could even provide invaluable information about the cosmic web — the swirling, diffuse and faint web of gases and magnetic fields that exists between galaxies, and which is completely invisible to optical and most radio telescopes.
