Bullet Galaxy 1970-01-01
Bullet Galaxy, also known as the Bullet Cluster (1E 0657-56), is a pair of colliding galaxy clusters located approximately 3.8 billion light-years away from Earth in the constellation Carina. It is one of the most studied astronomical objects because it provides important insights into dark matter, the formation and evolution of galaxy clusters, and the nature of cosmic structure. The Bullet Cluster consists of two clusters that have collided at a high velocity.
BzK galaxy 1970-01-01
BzK galaxies, or "BzK" which stands for "BnzK galaxies," refer to a specific class of galaxies identified in the study of galaxy formation and evolution, particularly in the context of cosmology and astrophysics. The term is often associated with a selection criterion used to identify a population of galaxies at high redshift (z > 1.4) which are likely to be massive and star-forming.
CEERS-93316 1970-01-01
CEERS-93316 is a galaxy that has gained attention due to its remarkable characteristics. It is particularly noted for its significant redshift, indicating that it existed when the universe was much younger, approximately 2.4 billion years after the Big Bang. This places it in the early universe, providing valuable insights into galaxy formation and evolution. Research on CEERS-93316 has focused on its mass, size, and star formation rate, among other properties.
Cold quasar 1970-01-01
A "cold quasar" is a type of astronomical object that represents a quasar—a very energetic and distant galaxy with an active supermassive black hole at its center—characterized by having a cooler or lower-temperature environment surrounding it compared to typical quasars. These environments are often marked by significant amounts of cold gas and dust.
Cosmos Redshift 7 1970-01-01
As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, Cosmos Redshift 7 is a cloud-native data platform offered by Microsoft Azure. It is designed to provide users with capabilities for data integration, data warehousing, data science, and distributed analytics. This platform allows organizations to manage and analyze large amounts of data easily and efficiently, leveraging cloud technology for scalability and performance.
DLA0817g 1970-01-01
DLA0817g, also known as DLA0817g-1, is a distant astronomical object classified as a quasar, which is an extremely luminous active galactic nucleus powered by a supermassive black hole. It was discovered in 2018 and is notable for being one of the most distant quasars known, with a redshift of approximately 7.54. This implies that the light we observe from DLA0817g has taken around 13.
Dark matter halo 1970-01-01
A dark matter halo is a theoretical structure that surrounds galaxies and galaxy clusters, comprising a significant portion of their total mass. Dark matter, which does not emit, absorb, or reflect light and is therefore invisible to electromagnetic observations, is inferred to exist based on its gravitational effects on visible matter.
Deep-sky object 1970-01-01
A deep-sky object refers to astronomical objects that are located outside of our Solar System and are typically observed in the night sky rather than viewed as part of celestial bodies like planets or stars. These objects can include a variety of categories, such as: 1. **Galaxies**: Massive systems composed of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter. The Milky Way is an example of a galaxy. 2. **Nebulae**: Clouds of gas and dust in space.
Direct collapse black hole 1970-01-01
A direct collapse black hole (DCBH) is a theoretical type of black hole formed from gas clouds that collapse directly into a black hole without first forming a star. This process is thought to occur in certain conditions early in the universe, particularly in environments where heavy elements are scarce, such as in primordial gas clouds. In typical stellar black hole formation, a massive star undergoes gravitational collapse after exhausting its nuclear fuel, leading first to a supernova explosion before leaving behind a black hole.
Dragonfly 44 1970-01-01
Dragonfly 44 is a galaxy located about 330 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Coma Berenices. It gained attention in the astronomical community due to its unusual characteristics; specifically, it is a massive, nearly invisible galaxy that contains a very large amount of dark matter. Dragonfly 44 was discovered in 2016 as part of the Dragonfly Telephoto Array project, which aimed to identify faint, diffuse galaxies.
Dumbbell Galaxy 1970-01-01
The Dumbbell Galaxy, also known as Messier 27 (M27), is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Vulpecula. It was the first planetary nebula to be discovered, identified by the French astronomer Charles Messier in 1764. The name "Dumbbell Galaxy" comes from its dumbbell-like shape, which is characterized by a bright central region and two lobes extending outwards.
Dwarf galaxy problem 1970-01-01
The "Dwarf Galaxy Problem" refers to the discrepancies and challenges faced in astrophysics regarding the properties and distribution of dwarf galaxies in the context of the current models of cosmic structure formation, particularly within the framework of the Lambda Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) model.
EGS-zs8-1 1970-01-01
EGS-zs8-1 is a distant galaxy that was discovered through observations made with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and other astronomical telescopes. It is notable for being one of the earliest and most distant galaxies observed, located about 13.1 billion light-years away from Earth. This places it at a redshift of approximately z = 8.1, which means that this galaxy formed when the universe was less than a billion years old.
EGSY8p7 1970-01-01
EGSY8p7 refers to a specific celestial object — a galaxy that is located about 13 billion light-years away from Earth. It gained attention for being one of the most distant galaxies observed, dating back to a time when the universe was less than a billion years old. This observation provides valuable insights into the early universe and the formation of galaxies. The study of EGSY8p7 and other distant galaxies helps astronomers understand the evolution of cosmic structures over time.
Ergosphere 1970-01-01
The term "ergosphere" refers to a region around a rotating black hole. In general relativity, the ergosphere is the area outside the event horizon where objects cannot remain in a fixed position due to the intense effects of the black hole's rotation. Within this region, the spacetime is dragged around in the direction of the black hole’s spin, a phenomenon known as "frame dragging.
F200DB-045 1970-01-01
F200DB-045 does not correspond to a widely recognized term or item that I have information about. It might refer to a specific product code, model number, part number, or designation used in a particular industry or context.
Faint blue galaxy 1970-01-01
The term "faint blue galaxy" typically refers to a type of galaxy that appears blue and has a relatively low brightness. These galaxies are often observed in deep-sky surveys and are characterized by their blue color, which indicates active star formation. Here are a few key points about faint blue galaxies: 1. **Color and Composition**: The blue color of these galaxies often arises from the presence of hot, young stars, which emit significant amounts of blue and ultraviolet light.
Fanaroff–Riley classification 1970-01-01
The Fanaroff-Riley classification is a classification scheme for radio galaxies, which categorizes them based on their radio morphology and the properties of their radio emission. Introduced by scientists Paul Fanaroff and Julia Riley in 1974, the classification divides radio galaxies into two main categories: **Fanaroff-Riley Type I (FR I)** and **Fanaroff-Riley Type II (FR II)**.
GLASS-z12 1970-01-01
GLASS-z12 is a distant galaxy that was identified in a study related to the GLASS (Gravitational Lensing Australian Space Observatory) project. This galaxy is significant because it is one of the earliest known galaxies observed, believed to have formed just 400 million years after the Big Bang. Researchers consider it to be a key object of study for understanding galaxy formation and evolution in the early universe.
