Astronomers have observed the most distant quasar to date. Formed 670 million years after the Big Bang, it provides insight into the formation of massive galaxies in the early universe.
NASA has selected Carlos Vargas, a UArizona postdoctoral researcher, to lead a $20 million mission to build a space telescope that will map vast regions of star-forming gas that have eluded observation for decades.
NASA awarded approximately $12 million to UArizona astrobiology researchers to establish research teams tasked with advancing our fundamental understanding of early Earth.
Elisabeth Krause has been selected for a Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering. The $875,000 award will allow her to expand her research on the structure of the universe.
The UArizona-led OSIRIS-REx mission will attempt to collect a sample from asteroid Bennu on Oct. 20. Before the spacecraft touches the surface, scientists are learning more about the material that makes up the asteroid.
UArizona researchers have been busy building a testbed that essentially consists of a miniature-sized active stand-in for the Giant Magellan Telescope's seven-piece primary mirror.
The discovery of the most massive quasar known in the early universe challenges current theories of supermassive black hole formation and growth.
The Giant Magellan Telescope promises to deliver breakthrough discoveries.
In a complicated economic environment, pay-what-you-can programs, massive open online courses and extended corporate partner benefits are making UArizona offerings more accessible.
Astronomers probed a vast, cosmic cloud of gas and dust for traces of organic molecules that form building blocks for life. They found that such molecules appear hundreds of thousands of years before stars start to form.
