NEW ELEMENTS. “As the first generation of stars form in the Universe, they also create the first wave of metals that provide the conditions for Pop II star formation.” https://lnkd.in/dHcpNrnR View in LinkedIn

ENORMOUSLY ACTIVE. “Massive and fast large scale gas outflows, associated to quasar activity, have been observed in local and high-redshift quasars.” https://lnkd.in/dHcpNrnR View in LinkedIn

“THE POWER SOURCE for dusty galaxies. About 99% of the energy released by galaxies in the submm and far-IR wavebands is produced by thermal emission from dust grains; the remainder comes from fine-structure atomic and molecular rotational line emission. However, the source of the energy to power this emission by heating dust is often unclear.” (IR = infrared; Submm == submillimeter wavelengths). https://lnkd.in/dAkZ_ejH View in LinkedIn

HIGH ENERGY SOURCES. “The first extragalactic submm/mm surveys using SCUBA and MAMBO revealed a population of very luminous high-redshift galaxies, which as a population, were responsible for the release of a significant fraction of the energy generated by all galaxies over the history of the Universe.” (Submm == submillimeter wavelengths). https://lnkd.in/dAkZ_ejH View in LinkedIn

CHALLENGING WAVELENGTHS. “With the possible exception of the hardest X-ray wavebands, studies of distant galaxies in the submm waveband remained elusive for the longest period.” The many reasons for this difficulty are discussed.

CLEAR SEPARATION. “The detection of submm radiation from distant galaxies is one of the most recent developments in observational cosmology, and has finally brought this region of the electromagnetic spectrum into use for making cosmological observations not directly connected with the cosmic microwave background (CMB).” (Submm == submillimeter wavelengths). https://lnkd.in/dAkZ_ejH View in LinkedIn

NOVEL TERRITORY. “This review discusses the results of a new type of direct observation of the galaxy formation process, made possible by the development of powerful new radiation detectors sensitive to wavelengths in the range 200 µm to about 1 mm: the submillimeter (submm) waveband.” (Submm == submillimeter wavelengths). https://lnkd.in/dAkZ_ejH View in LinkedIn

THE EXOCEREBRUM. “My iPhone is not my tool, or at least it is not wholly my tool. Parts of it have become parts of me. This is the thesis of the extended mind: when parts of the environment are coupled to the brain in the right way, they become parts of the mind.” (David Chalmers). https://lnkd.in/dk82B5rC View in LinkedIn
