A galaxy caught dying? Astronomers capture distant galaxy losing its ability to form stars
The spectacular event was triggered by the collision of another galaxy as per the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The new study was published in Nature Astronomy and suggests galactic mergers can be responsible for ejecting star-forming fuel into space. Earlier, astronomers believed that winds caused by star formation and the activity of black holes at the centre of the galaxies are responsible for launching star-forming material into space thus ending thus, ending galaxies abilities to make new stars. Scientists were able to trace it due to the ejected gas called ''ti...
