Galaxy clusters -- the big cities of the universe -- are home to many giant elliptical galaxies that have completed their growth and are not forming stars. However, it is still unclear what has shut ...

Researchers have used the ALMA telescope and found old elliptical galaxies in the universe can form from intense star formation within early galaxy cores. An international team of researchers ...

Schematic diagram shows how spheroid formation occurs in distant submillimetre-bright galaxies, and how this process connects to the evolution of giant elliptical galaxies in today's Universe. On the ...

Researchers suggest the universe's background radiation has been overestimated, potentially challenging the standard model of cosmology and our understanding of early galaxy formation. Space, time and ...

An international team led by UNIGE shows that red and dead galaxies can be found only 700 million years after the Big Bang, indicating that galaxies stop forming stars earlier than predicted by models ...

These three galaxy images from the AEGIS survey show a range of galaxy types: a disk-like spiral galaxy (top), a cloud-like elliptical galaxy (middle), and an irregular galaxy resulting from a ...
