Figure 1: Optical images of the region of GRB 050509B showing the association with a large elliptical galaxy. Figure 3: X-ray afterglow light curve for GRB 050509B showing weak flux falling off to ...

Over the past decade, the availability of a new generation of ground- and space-based instruments has transformed our understanding of early galaxies. Before this, observational studies of the ...

There are several different kinds of redshift that we encounter in the universe. Those three are ‘gravitational’, ‘doppler‘ and ‘cosmological‘. Before looking at two examples, it is best to have a ...

The galaxy evolution group at RIT investigates numerous questions related to our cosmic origins, such as how galaxies formed and evolved over time, what drives star formation and subsequent quenching ...

The JWST has done it again. The powerful space telescope has already revealed the presence of bright galaxies only several hundred million years after the Big Bang. Now, it's sensed light from a ...
