Galaxy cluster IDCS J1426 is located 10 billion light-years from Earth and has the mass of almost 500 trillion suns (multi-wavelength image: X-rays in blue, visible light in green, and infrared light in red). [3] Galaxy clusters typically have the following properties:
The galaxy belongs to a new class of objects discovered by WISE, extremely luminous infrared galaxies, or ELIRGs. Light from the WISE J224607.57-052635.0 galaxy has traveled 12.5 billion years. The black hole at its center was billions of times the mass of the Sun when the universe was a tenth (1.3 billion years) of its present age of 13.8 ...
Galaxy clusters are found by optical or infrared telescopes by searching for overdensities, and then confirmed by finding several galaxies at a similar redshift. Infrared searches are more useful for finding more distant (higher redshift) clusters. X-ray: The hot plasma emits X-rays that can be detected by X-ray telescopes. The cluster gas can ...
The whole galaxy shines bright in infrared and it is characterised as a luminous infrared galaxy, with a total infrared luminosity (L IR) of 5 × 10 11 L⊙. [8] The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observed [9] the nucleus of the eastern galaxy in mid-infrared, revealing a northeastern and a southwestern core. The mid-infrared colors of these ...
The second most massive galaxy cluster next to El Gordo is RCS2 J2327, a galaxy cluster with the mass of 2 quadrillion suns. Also has a systematic designation of ACT-CL J0102-4915. [6] [7] [8] Musket Ball Cluster: Named in comparison to the Bullet Cluster, as this one is older and slower galaxy cluster merger than the Bullet Cluster.
Webb's First Deep Field was taken by the telescope's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and is a composite produced from images at different wavelengths, totalling 12.5 hours of exposure time. [3] [4] SMACS 0723 is a galaxy cluster visible from Earth's Southern Hemisphere, [5] and has often been examined by Hubble and other telescopes in search of ...
Abell 370, a galaxy cluster located nearly 4 billion light-years away from Earth features several arcs of light, including the "Dragon Arc" (lower left of center).
Abell 2744, nicknamed Pandora's Cluster, is a giant galaxy cluster resulting from the simultaneous pile-up of at least four separate, smaller galaxy clusters that took place over a span of 350 million years, and is located approximately 4 billion light years from Earth. [1] The galaxies in the cluster make up less than five percent of its mass. [1]
