Consistency is found with substantial recent or ongoing star-formation activity. | |
117 Citations | This finding, combined with the overall wealth of dust and gas, could imply that star formation is still active. |
44 Citations | We conclude that star formation seems to have occurred in likely several bursts rather than occurring coevally. |
This seems to give further evidence for the hypothesis that the stars once formed in different subsystems, with different star-formation rates. | |
25 Citations | We suggest that the phenomena revealed here support a scenario of hierarchical star formation. |
The star formation properties, calculated from typical merger star formation histories, demonstrate the impact of different assumptions about the star formation history. | |
Our model predictions qualitatively match some of the puzzling features in the observed star formation history. |

What are the latest prominent astrophysics discoveries?5 answersThe latest prominent astrophysics discoveries include the detection of gamma-rays from distant AGNs at high redshifts using Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs). The blazar QSO B0218+357, located at redshift z=0.944, was the first gravitational lensed blazar ever detected in very high energy (VHE) gamma-rays. Additionally, the FSRQ PKS 1441+25, located at redshift z=0.939, was also detected and analyzed in the VHE domain. These discoveries were made possible by the MAGIC system, a pair of IACTs located in the Canary island of La Palma. The collected dataset from these detections allowed for testing of the present generation of extragalactic background light (EBL) models at such distances.
