New insight into why galaxies stop forming stars
October 24, 2018By
Galaxy clusters are rare regions of the universe consisting of hundreds of galaxies containing trillions of stars. It has long been known that when a galaxy falls into a cluster, star formation is fairly rapidly shut off in a process known as ‘quenching.’ A new study has made the best measurement yet of the quenching timescale, measuring how it varies across 70 percent of the history of the universe.

Ramp Compression of Iron Provides Insight into Core Conditions of Large Rocky Exoplanets
April 17, 2018By
A team of researchers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Princeton University, Johns Hopkins University and the University of Rochester have provided the first experimentally based mass-radius relationship for a hypothetical pure iron planet at super-Earth core conditions. This discovery can be used to evaluate plausible compositional space for large, rocky exoplanets, forming the basis of future planetary interior models, which in turn can be used to more accurately interpret observation data from the Kepler space mission and aid in identifying planets suitable for habitability.
