Alma spots most distant dusty galaxy hidden in plain sight
- QueensGambit 7y agoThanks to ALMA’s sensitivity, the team has now been able to determine the distance of this galaxy: MAMBO-9. “We found the galaxy in a new ALMA survey specifically designed to identify dusty star-forming galaxies in the early Universe. And what is special about this observation, is that this is the most distant dusty galaxy we have ever seen in an unobstructed way,” Dr. Casey said.
