Another update from Alfredo Carpineti: Following the previous post, we continue the analysis of galaxy mergers in the infrared. We want to understand where our galaxies stand with respect to other mergers and other infrared luminous galaxies. Using infrared radiation we can extrapolate the number of stars produced by a galaxy every year, namely the star [...]
Wednesday’s session at the Austin meeting of the American Astronomical Society will include new results from the Galaxy Zoo sample of overlapping galaxies. Extending the work in Anna Manning’s Master’s thesis, this marks an extension that helps us look ahead to comparison with the higher-redshift Hubble Zoo overlaps. Specifically, we compared visible-light data with ultraviolet [...]
As we tweeted about and as Chris noted in his blog post about the Zooniverse success at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Austin TX, half of the Chandra X-ray observations of IC 2497 (the galaxy next to Hanny’s Voorwerp) have been executed and so with bated breath we awaited the results. From previous X-ray [...]
Hello, My name is Alfredo and I’m a Ph.D. student at Imperial College London. I’ve been asked to write a blog about how we take an idea and turn it into a paper, showing exactly what the man behind the scene does. I’m working with galaxy mergers so the field from which we are going [...]
