Nearly all the sky is covered by Lyman-alpha emission around high redshift galaxies

L. Wisotzki, R. Bacon, J. Brinchmann +22

Galaxies are surrounded by large reservoirs of gas, mostly hydrogen, fed by inflows from the intergalactic medium and by outflows due to galactic winds. Absorption-line measurement…

Gaia DR2 unravels incompleteness of nearby cluster population: New open clusters in the direction of Perseus

T. Cantat-Gaudin, A. Krone-Martins, N. Sedaghat +13

Open clusters (OCs) are popular tracers of the structure and evolutionary history of the Galactic disk. The OC population is often considered to be complete within 1.8 kpc of the S…
