Quasar outflows in the young Universe

Details: Created: Thursday, 12 May 2022 14:06

A study led by Manuela Bischetti, Chiara Feruglio e Valentina D'Odorico of the INAF Astronomical Observatory of Trieste, has measured for the first time the fraction of winds produced by supermassive black holes at the centre of galaxies in the primordial Universe, revealing how such winds were much more frequent and powerful at the time than those observed in galaxies that are closer to us. This could explain the mechanism that halted the growth of supermassive black holes across the history of the cosmos. These results have been published in the journal Nature.

INAF-OATs at the forefront for the construction of CUBES

Details: Created: Monday, 21 February 2022 07:06

The CUBES (Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph) project, an ultraviolet eye for ESO's VLT telescope in Chile, moves into operational phase. On February 15, 2022, INAF President Marco Tavani and ESO Director General Xavier Barcons signed the Construction Agreement of CUBES (Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph), an innovative spectrograph for the ultraviolet band to be installed on the Very Large Telescope (VLT) at ESO Paranal Observatory, in Chile.

The CUBES project is carried out by a consortium of institutes from five countries led by INAF together with Brazil, Germany, Great Britain and Poland.
