DECam confirma que los vecindarios de los cuásares del Universo primitivo están realmente abarrotados
NSF's NOIRLab

Observaciones realizadas con la Cámara de Energía Oscura (DECam, por sus siglas en inglés) confirman las expectativas de los astrónomos de que los cuásares del Universo primitivo se formaron en regiones del espacio densamente pobladas con galaxias compañeras. El enorme campo de visión de DECam y sus filtros especiales jugaron un papel fundamental para llegar a esta conclusión. Además, estas observaciones revelan la razón por la que los estudios previos que buscaban caracterizar la densidad de los vecindarios de los cuásares en el Universo primitivo arrojaban resultados contradictorios.

Observations using the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) confirm astronomers’ expectation that early-Universe quasars formed in regions of space densely populated with companion galaxies. DECam’s exceptionally wide field of view and special filters played a crucial role in reaching this conclusion, and the observations reveal why previous studies seeking to characterize the density of early-Universe quasar neighborhoods have yielded conflicting results.
