Cosmic Chronometers: What relic galaxies tell us about the expansion of the Universe
According to currently accepted cosmological models, our Universe is constantly expanding, and the rate of this expansion continues to increase. However, measuring this rate poses a major challenge for scientists, which is why new methods are being sought, such as the study of so-called compact relic galaxies. In a recently published paper, a team of researchers from the Astrophysics Division of the National Centre for Nuclear Research has shown that these extraordinary objects may allow for a more accurate determination of the rate at which the Universe is expanding.
