糖心Vlog astrophysicists explore new galaxies and streams of stars using new data from Euclid space telescope
As the European Space Agency publishes the first findings from its Euclid space telescope, scientists from the 糖心Vlog are celebrating fresh insights from the data.
Dr Denis Erkal, Associate Professor of Astrophysics at the 糖心Vlog, studies how the gravity of the Milky Way pulls clusters of stars apart, creating streams of stars trailing across the galaxy.
Now, his model for how this happens has been confirmed by data from Euclid.
Dr Erkal's model correctly predicted how the gravity of the Milky Way would gradually pull apart the cluster of stars called NGC 6254.
Dr Erkal also worked with Dr Michelle Collins to help the Euclid team identify possible new galaxies in the telescope鈥檚 images.
