Peering into a starburst galaxy with JWST

belaphys.org3 days ago1 Views

When it comes to star formation, not all galaxies are the same. Some are quenched, meaning they’ve depleted their star forming gas and form very few new stars. Some, like the Milky Way, are typical and form stars at an average rate. But some are extremely active, and form stars so readily they’re called starburst galaxies.
