Other large-scale features such as supernova remnants, star-formation regions, and even some other nearby galaxies will need similar measurements from individual LOFAR telescopes to provide accurate information on the large-scale emission in these objects.

Gallagher and her team used Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys to resolve the youngest and brightest of those clusters, which allowed them to calculate the clusters' ages, trace the star-formation history, and determine that the galaxies are undergoing the final stages of galaxy assembly.

In this latest Hubble release, astronomers were surprised to find that star-formation activities in the outer regions of NGC 2976 are fizzling out, and any celebrating is confined to a few die-hard partygoers huddled in the galaxy's inner region.

Galaxy density and brightness measurements are key to calculating star-formation rates, which tell a lot about what happened when.

Nereid said: And, for avoidance of doubt, in this case the references need to be to papers, published in relevant peer-reviewed journals, explicitly on star-formation and high-mass stars to boot.

Did you see the words "explicitly on star-formation and high-mass stars to boot"?
-
The astronomers looked at star-formation rates and the rate at which hydrogen was ionized.

Using data from their study and others, they determined that the star-formation rates were dramatically lower from 800 million years to about one billion years after the Big Bang, then thereafter.
