By The Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics at Peking University January 14, 2024The James Webb Space Telescope has captured images of two early-universe quasars, shedding light on the relationship between black holes and their host galaxies. This breakthrough suggests that the mass ratio observed in more recent galaxies was already present less than a billion years after the Big Bang.JWST’s recent observations of two quasars from the universe’s infancy reveal crucial insights into the early relationship…

A new study based on Gaia satellite data reveals that dwarf galaxies around the Milky Way are likely transient and not as dark matter-rich as previously thought. Their recent entry into the Galactic halo and rapid loss of gas challenges existing beliefs about their stability and composition.Recent Gaia satellite findings suggest that dwarf galaxies are transient and less influenced by dark matter than previously believed, challenging long-held assumptions about their nature and composition.Commonly thought to be…
