Dansk specialestuderende opdager galaksegruppe i det tidlige Univers
Mens han var i færd med at udvikle og teste astronomisk software på eksisterende billeder, opdagede en specialestuderende i astronomi en gruppe af galakser i det meget unge Univers. Udover at demonstrere softwarens potentiale giver opdagelsen indsigt i, hvordan tunge strukturer bygges op, og i hvordan visse galakser stopper med at danne stjerner.

Master student discovers a group of galaxies clustered together in the early Universe
While developing and testing astronomical software on existing data, a master student in astronomy fortuitously discovered a group of galaxies in the very early Universe. In addition to demonstrating the potential of the software, the finding provides insight into the assembly of massive structures, as well as how some galaxies cease to form stars.

Astronomers discover a swarm of galaxies orbiting a hyper-luminous galaxy
Using the Very Large Telescope and the radio telescope ALMA in Chile, a team of astronomers including researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute has discovered a swarm of galaxies orbiting the surroundings of a hyper-luminous and vigorously star-forming galaxy in the early Universe. The observation provides important clues to how exceptionally bright galaxies grow, and to how they evolve into energetic quasars, beaming light across most of the observable Universe.

Kasper Heintz receives EUR 207,000 from the Villum Foundation for building a new binocular telescope
Congratulations to Kasper Heintz, who has just been awarded a grant for building and installing two cameras at two different observatories. The cameras will enable astronomers to monitor short-lived astronomical phenomena such as stellar explosions, exoplanet transits, and Earth-impacting meteors.
