A team of scientists led by Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) has found the galaxies with intense ultraviolet light. India’s first multi-wavelength satellite AstroSat that consists of five novel X-ray and ultraviolet telescopes operating in tandem has recognised excessive UV light from a galaxy called AUDFs01, 9.3 billion light-years distant from Earth.
The team of international astronomers is directed by Dr Kanak Saha, associate professor of astronomy at IUCAA, and was published on August 24 by Nature Astronomy. Apart from India the team involved astronomers from Switzerland, France, USA, Japan and the Netherlands.
