New research used the cutting-edge GIZMO simulation code and data from the IllustrisTNG Project to replicate the conditions when the universe formed its first stars.

Space Oldest fast radio burst ever seen sheds light on early star formation A bright flash of radio waves from 3 billion years after the big bang is illuminating parts of the universe that ...

One hypothesis was that the galaxies had bursts of star formation and then quiet periods, before starting again. Paz and her team looked for the galaxies that were in between bursts of star formation.

Current theories suggest that black hole feedback is crucial for regulating star formation in massive galaxies, but most observations have been of systems where this process is already mature.

Related studies include research on the process of stellar evolution and the early (star formation) and late (explosion or collapse to compact object) stages of a star’s life.

Using the MeerKAT radio telescope, an international team of astronomers have discovered a new fast radio burst, which received designation FRB 20240304B. The measured redshift of FRB 20240304B ...
