A team of researchers has observed a massive galaxy cluster that challenges existing models of the universe's evolution. The cluster's unusual structure and high density of cold, neutral hydrogen gas suggest a different history than previously thought. This discovery raises questions about the fate of large structures in the universe.
Astronomers discover galaxy Virgil with dual personality – ordinary in visible light but harboring massive black hole. JWST observations reveal hidden nature of Virgil, challenging current models of black hole formation.
Researchers have discovered three tiny ultra-faint dwarf galaxies, dubbed 'stellar-ghost-town' galaxies, with minimal gas and old stars. This suggests that their star formation was cut off early in the universe's history due to insufficient gravity or events like reionization or supernovae explosions.
Astronomers discovered three ultra-faint dwarf galaxies in an isolated region of space, containing only very old stars. The findings support the theory that events in the early universe cut off star formation in small galaxies.
The International Gemini Observatory and Subaru Telescope have discovered the most distant pair of merging quasars, seen only 900 million years after the Big Bang. The team used follow-up spectroscopy to confirm the nature of the quasar pair and their host galaxies.
A new study using JWST data shows that small galaxies played a major role in cosmic reionization, outnumbering massive galaxies by a factor of 100. These findings contradict current theories and suggest that low-mass galaxies were responsible for the ionizing photons required for reionization.
The study reveals small galaxies produced a significant amount of ionizing photons, exceeding the threshold required for reionization. This suggests low-mass galaxies were strong candidates for sparking the process by heating and ionizing the surrounding gas.
Researchers observed the core region of the protocluster A2744z7p9OD using JWST and detected ionized oxygen-ion light from four galaxies at a distance of 13.14 billion light-years away.

Simulations show that small galaxies' high abundance and lower gas density allowed for more UV light to escape, illuminating the early universe.
A new study reveals that tiny galaxies over 13 billion years ago contributed nearly 30 percent of UV light during reionization. These small galaxies formed stars and released UV light, which helped strip interstellar hydrogen of electrons.
