2024年10月13日 · A disk-like geometry presents even for populations older than 13 Gyr, with the scale height-to-length ratio dropping below 0.5 for populations younger than 12.5 Gyr. We dub the oldest population that has maintained a disk geometry - apparently formed over 13 Gyr ago - …

2024年10月11日 · An international team of astronomers has identified and characterized the oldest disc in our galaxy, the Milky Way, which they have named PanGu.. PanGu, whose name comes from Chinese mythology and literally means “ancient disc”, was formed more than 13.5 billion years ago, just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang.This discovery pushes the birth of our galaxy even further back in ...

2024年10月17日 · The ancient disc found was named PanGu. This star formation, according to the researchers, reflects the initial stage of the formation of the Milky Way, when it was not yet overloaded with stars from other galaxies. Galactic mergers have significantly increased the size and mass of the Milky Way, making it difficult for scientists to determine ...

2024年10月15日 · Unveiling PanGu: The Galactic Seed. Recently, astronomers made a remarkable discovery that fills in this missing chapter. They've identified traces of an ancient structure they've named PanGu, after the Chinese deity who separated heaven and earth. PanGu represents the Milky Way's original disk—a colossal seed around which our entire galaxy grew.

A disk-like geometry presents even for populations older than 13 Gyr, with the scale height-to-length ratio dropping below 0.5 for populations younger than 12.5 Gyr. ... 9 M ⊙ _{⊙} ⊙ , PanGu is presumed to be a major stellar component of our Galaxy in the earliest epoch. The total present-day stellar mass of the whole high-α disk is 2 × ...

2024年10月16日 · The team has named this disk PanGu. The study revealed that the oldest PanGU stars formed more than 13 billion years ago. This contradicts previous models, according to which the first structure of the Milky Way emerged about 12.5 billion years ago. ... It wasn’t fully a disk: its height at an early stage was almost equal to its diameter ...

A stronomers have identified the oldest stellar disk in the Milky Way, a discovery that reshapes our understanding of the galaxy's formation.This early disk, known as PanGu, is over 13 billion ...

2024年10月17日 · The invention of the PanGu disk now not handiest sheds mild at the Milky Means’s historical past but in addition demanding situations conventional fashions of galaxy formation. Up to now, astronomers believed that enormous galaxies just like the Milky Means advanced via a chain of chaotic mergers, resulting in abnormal enlargement and common ...
