Galaxies Pump Out Contaminated Exhausts
AUSTIN — Galaxies pollute the environment they exist in, researchers have found.
A team of astronomers including The University of Texas at Austin’s Danielle Berg and John Chisholm used a new imaging system at the WM Keck Observatory in Hawaii to confirm that what flows into a galaxy is a lot cleaner than what flows out. The research is published today in The Astrophysical Journal.
