Tyrol’s physicist discovers more than 2600 dwarf systems

Date:

The Innsbruck’s physicist again gets the headlines. In particular a team from the Institute for Astro and particle physics at the university. They identified and characterized more than 2,600 dwarf systems in our universe.

The counting and characterization made it possible to count the “Euclid” space telescope of the ESA. This has been offering valuable data from the depths of space for almost two years now. “With their help, the largest and most accurate 3D card must be created in the universe, with billions of stars and galaxies,” says a broadcast of Innsbruck University.

The data that the telescope provides is evaluated by an international team. This also includes the Innsbruck scientists Francine Marleau and Tim Schrabback and their employees.

2674 Dwarf systems discovered on 25 recordings
The team led by Francine Marleau discovered a total of 2674 dwarf systems on 25 recordings of Euclid and recorded it in a catalog. With a half -automated procedure, potential candidates were initially identified and they were then investigated in more detail.

“Of the documented galaxies, 58%elliptical dwarf galaxies, 42%irregular Milky Way, little rich in global starlingen (1%), Galaxy core (4%) and a not unconventional part (6.9%) Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxies”, Calculating Marlon Fügen -Schoen.

Focus on galaxies
The study makes insights possible in the form of galaxies, their distance to the earth, the sun mass and the environmental conditions of dwarf systems. As part of the Euclid project, Francine Marleau is investigating the rise and development of galaxies, in particular dwarf systems.

They are most common in the universe and their number and distribution are considered important indications or our cosmological models correctly map the laws of the universe.

“Remarkable capacity of Euclid”
“We have benefited from the unique depth, the spatial resolution and field of vision of the Euclid telescope. This work shows the remarkable capacity of Euclid to detect and characterize dwarf systems that make an extensive image of the development and development of galaxies over various mass scale, distances, says.
