Scientists at the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in the most massive galaxy in the early
Recent observations of scientists at the Atakama BolshoiMillimeter / Submillimeter Array (ALMA) have shown that there is water in the object SPT0311-58, which consists of two galaxies. But it was seen only in one of the galaxies, which is located about 12.88 billion light years from Earth. All results of the study are described in a publication in The Astrophysical Journal.
It is noted that SPT0311-58 was noticed by ALMA scientists in2017 year. They suggest that the two galaxies that make up the named object are able to merge and in the future turn into massive elliptical galaxies, similar to those in the Local Universe.
As for this year's discovery, experts were able to detect a molecule of water and carbon monoxide in the largest of the galaxies.They are considered to be the most massive.
Experts plan to continue studying SPT0311-58and galaxies of the early Universe. It is also necessary to find out how much gas and dust has now formed there, thanks to which other stars and galaxies will be formed in the future.
