On April 25, 2019, the LIGO Livingston Observatory picked up what appeared to be gravitational ripples from a collision of two neutron stars. LIGO Livingston is part of a gravitational-wave network that includes LIGO (the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory), funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF...

Galaxies at the ‘cosmic noon’ are often characterised by the absence of strong radial gradients in the spatial distribution of metals, consistent with strong feedback mechanisms in place, but is this always reflecting a real spatial homogeneity ? New insights from the KLEVER Survey.

Galaxies at the ‘cosmic noon’ show no clear radial trends in the distribution of heavy elements, consistent with strong feedback mechanisms in place at these epochs, but does this always reflect a spatial homogeneity ? New insights from the KLEVER Survey.
