To investigate the formation and evolution of vertical structures in disk galaxies, we measure global scale heights, averaging thin and thick components whe…
An ultra-high-resolution map of (dark) matter
Diana Scognamiglio, Gavin Leroy, David Harvey +38
Ordinary matter-including particles such as protons and neutrons-accounts for only about one sixth of all matter in the Universe. The rest is dark matter, which does not emit or ab…
Expanding the High-z Supernova Frontier: "Wide-Area" JWST Discoveries from the First Two Years of COSMOS-Web
Ori D. Fox, Armin Rest, Justin D. R. Pierel +48
Transient astronomy in the early Universe (z > 2) remains largely unexplored, lying beyond the rest-frame optical spectroscopic reach of most current observatories. Yet this regime…
