Distant dwarf galaxy formation spotted, Tezpur researcher part of team

A first of its kind study has found new stars forming beyond the visible boundaries about 1.5 to 3.9 billion light years away from the Earth, according to an article by a research scholar of Tezpur University. The study was conceived using the ultra violet imaging telescope onboard AstroSat, India’s first dedicated multi-wavelength space observatory, a release issued by Tezpur University said. The resolving power of the ultra violet imaging telescope onboard AstroSat, India’s first dedicated multi-wavelength space observatory and UV deep field imaging techniques have been the key to spotting these very young, faint and large star forming clumps, Saha said. “The discovery of such unseen phenomena in these distant dwarf galaxies is just another piece of the puzzle and a glimpse of the unknown that new state of the art observatories are starting to show and have to offer in near future,’ the university vice-chancellor Vinod K Jain said.

Indian astronomers discover a galaxy hiding in our neighbourhood. It's forming new stars

India Today  

A team of Indian astronomers have discovered a faint but star-forming galaxy, which had so far remained undetected, hiding in front of a bigger, brighter galaxy. The galaxy with a ghost-like appearance shows hints of stars still forming within it and lies in our cosmic neighbourhood just 136 million light-years away. The first hints of the hidden galaxy came when …
