Sentences with phrase «likely host galaxy»

The position of the most likely host galaxy, VHS7, is highlighted on the plot.

Although the team has stared into the repeating FRB's patch of sky using several telescopes, they have yet to locate a likely host galaxy.

Not exact matches

GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD The most likely galaxy to host habitable planets might be a giant elliptical such as ESO 325 - G004 (pictured, center), which is about 450 million light - years away in the constellation Centaurus.

That grim scenario has become more likely based on a new survey of galaxies hosting active black holes at their centers.

Because such black holes are most likely to exist at the cores of galaxies, a close enough look at a quasar should usually reveal the host around it.

The likely scenario in which this could have happened is if the galaxy hosting the black hole experienced mergers or collisions with other galaxies through its evolutionary history.

Portegies Zwart hopes to test his simulations by predicting which of the four YODECs in our galaxy is likely to host a midsize black hole, which could be detectable via a bright X-ray signal.

The astronomers determined that this galaxy's rapid star formation was likely triggered by a close encounter with its slightly smaller companion, which already hosts about 35 billion solar masses of stars and is increasing its rate of starburst at the breakneck pace of 540 solar masses per year.

Stars tidally stripped from their host galaxies are the most likely culprit, rather than unknown primordial galaxies.

Such a shortfall is particularly prominent in luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs), which have high star formation (and thus CCSN) rates and host bright and crowded nuclear regions, where large extinctions and reduced search detection efficiency likely lead to a significant fraction of CCSNe remaining undiscovered.

«If they are supernova explosions, then their properties are more extreme than we have ever observed before, and are likely connected to the central environments of the host galaxies.»

FRB 150807, which the researchers believe most likely originated from a galaxy named VHS7 located between 3.2 and 6.5 billion light - years from Earth, was seen to be weakly distorted by material within its host galaxy.

Astronomers at LCO then used the GLADE catalog (Galaxy List for the Advanced Detector Era) to identify galaxies in this region of the sky and then applied an algorithm to identify which of these galaxies would be most likely to host a kilonova based on properties such as their distance and luminosity.

Because of their distance from the host galaxy, the ghostly green structures might have taken tens of thousands of years to light up after the quasar outburst, and would likely fade tens of thousands of years after the quasar itself comes to an end, according to astronomers.
