Astronomy Object of the Month: Panchromatic SED modeling of infrared bright galaxies

The field of galaxy formation and evolution has undergone a revolutionary transformation over the past two decades, facilitated by abundant data collected from multiwavelength photometric and spectroscopic surveys. These observations play a crucial role in understanding the star formation history of the Universe, determining the redshift of the first proto-galaxies, and tracing the evolutionary processes of small components into the massive galaxies observed today.

Jagiellonian University with its own space mission under ERC grant!

The European Research Council has awarded 3 mln € to dr Michał Drahus for the HYADES project, under which a dedicated space telescope will be built to observe hydrogen and deuterium around small bodies in the Solar System. The goal is to determine the origin of water on our planet and to search for new and previously unknown water reservoirs in the Solar System and other planetary systems. The five-year project will be carried out at the Department of Physics, Astronomy and Applied Computer Science at the Jagiellonian University. More...
