Galaxies in the Infant Universe Were Surprisingly Mature

27 October 2020

Massive galaxies were already much more mature in the early universe than previously expected. This was shown by an international team of astronomers—including researchers from the Kavli Institute for Cosmology (KICC) and the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU) — who studied 118 distant galaxies with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).

KICC researchers discover evidence for two pathways to quench star formation in galaxies

16 September 2020

In a new study led by researchers at the Kavli Institute for Cosmology in Cambridge, evidence has been discovered for two distinct pathways for galaxies in the local universe to quench (that is, transition from a star forming to non-star forming state). In the local Universe galaxies are observed to come in two distinct...
