James Webb's 'too massive' galaxies may be even more massive

• kubeia 3y ago
  For the discovery of those ‘too massive galaxies’ you can look at the following paper: A population of red candidate massive galaxies ~600 Myr after the Big Bang https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-05786-2 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-05786-2

  Apparently there are a lot of amazing papers about to come out https://twitter.com/andrasgaspar/status/1658914819100098560?s=46&t=eaHvfJrMLGO06_Tl4Rm0WQ https://twitter.com/andrasgaspar/status/1658914819100098560?...

  >This image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 and its surroundings was the first image released from the James Webb Space Telescope in July 2023. Typo in the picture text

    Technically, it could be that's how it will turn out, if, say, they decide to re-release this image on July 1.

      If that's true, it should read "will be" instead of "was". I'm tempted to think there's some relativity joke I'm not getting given the topic, but it's probably just a mistake.

  Before we get too excited about the idea these galaxies are too big to have formed so early, it looks like there’s evidence some very large galaxies can form a lot faster than previously thought. https://youtu.be/CrGhpqKfRv4 https://youtu.be/CrGhpqKfRv4
