Astronomers turn up the heavy metal to shed light on star formation
October 6, 2020Astronomers from The University of Western Australia’s node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) have developed a new way to study star formation in galaxies from the dawn of time to today.

Spin doctors: Astrophysicists find when galaxies rotate, size matters
November 18, 2019The direction in which a galaxy spins depends on its mass, researchers have found. A team of astrophysicists analysed 1418 galaxies and found that small ones are likely to spin on a different axis to large ones.
