Researchers surprised to find that many of the galaxies had stopped forming new stars
Instrument designed to find distant worlds is used to determine the absence of one
UCI astronomers help gather and study data from more than 30 million galaxies
A team of researchers including a UCI astronomer has discovered the most distant known quasar. Named J0313-1806, the object is 1,000 times more luminous than the Milky Way, and the black hole from which it emanates is 1.6 billion times more massive than the sun. The researchers, led by astronomers from the University of Arizona, […]

UCI astronomer will be one of the first to conduct research with the world’s premier space telescope
Exhaustive emissions modeling by global physicists narrows down particle candidates
Findings may change fundamental thinking about star system formation, dynamics
Using the Habitable Zone Planet Finder instrument, a team of scientists – including UCI astronomer Paul Robertson – has confirmed that an object previously detected by the Kepler space telescope is an exoplanet, a planet orbiting a star outside our solar system. The team’s findings were published recently in The Astronomical Journal. Called G 9-40b, […]
