A novel way of investigating star-forming gas in the early Universe
Combining observations of exploding stars and observations of galaxies, astronomers at the Cosmic Dawn Center have found a novel way to estimate the amount of the otherwise invisible, cold gas in some of the first galaxies — gas that will eventually condense and start forming stars.

Rekordfjern eksplosion viser sig nok blot at være et stykke rumskrot
Selv med de mest omhyggelige foranstaltninger, truffet for at sikre gyldigheden af et videnskabeligt resultat, slipper vi ikke for, at de indimellem viser sig at være forkerte eller unøjagtige. Et eksempel ses i denne uge i Nature, Matters Arising, hvor tre artikler — den ene fra DAWN — går ind i en videnskabelig meningsudveksling

Reported record-distant explosion turns out to be probably just a piece of space junk
Even with the most careful measures taken to ensure the validity of a scientific result, every so often some results are bound to turn out to be mistaken or inaccurate. An example is seen this week in Nature, Matters Arising, where three papers — one of which is from DAWN — enter a scientific dispute.

Separating Gamma-Ray Bursts: Students Make Important Breakthrough
GAMMA-RAY BURSTS: By applying a machine-learning algorithm, scientists at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, have developed a method to classify all gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), rapid highly energetic explosions in […]
