Sentences with phrase «of early galaxies»

To understand the birth of the earliest galaxies, astronomers eagerly await the next generation of instruments.

Analysis of early galaxies in the Hubble deep fields taken near the north and south celestial poles (in 1995 and 1998, respectively) suggest that the farthest objects in the deep fields are only the «tip of the iceberg» of a uniquely effervescent period of star birth.

Astronomers now have very strong evidence that the peculiar colors of early galaxies seen in the Spitzer Space Telescope images originate from a very rapid formation of massive, young stars, which interacted with the primordial gas in these galaxies.

Another major finding of this study was the systematic detection of luminous hydrogen halos around galaxies in the early Universe, giving astronomers a new and promising way to study how material flows in and out of early galaxies.

And by analyzing the light as it passes through clouds of gas and on its way to Earth, astronomers will glean the compositions of the earliest galaxies, Lamb adds.

If confirmed, the finding means that some of the universe's first stars were so massive they died in exceptionally violent explosions that altered the growth of early galaxies.

The study is «an important step forward» in understanding the evolution of early galaxies, says astronomer Giovanni Fazio of the Harvard - Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Astronomer Matt Mountain, director of the new Gemini Telescope in Hawaii, says this future generation of gargantuan earthbound telescopes would make it possible to study individual stars in some of the earliest galaxies or determine the atmospheric gases of distant planets.

Astronomers have looked back to a time soon after the Big Bang, and have discovered swirling gas in some of the earliest galaxies to have formed in the Universe.

These events occur disproportionately often in dwarf irregular galaxies, which are thought to be similar to some of the earliest galaxies that populated the universe.
