The set of the
brightest galaxies with the most active of the processes of star formation in
fact was not found until now ground-based observatories, as such galaxies
hidden behind the huge opaque clouds of dust and gas. Due to space observatory
"Herschel" the European Space Agency, which oversees the universe in
the infrared spectrum, recently discovered a huge number of these
"star-burst galaxies",
which allowed astronomers to measure the
distance to them two twin telescopes, located in Hawaii, the Keck Observatory .
Opening surprised researchers - they found the entire 767 previously unknown
galaxies, many of which have created a star with incredible frequency.
On the detection of
galaxies in the infrared range, the researchers sent them an optical space
telescope, NASA's "Hubble" and the huge ground-based telescopes, the
twin Keck Observatory to measure the exact distance, temperature and star
formation rate of new galaxies.
Astronomers have
published their findings online in the journal Astrophysical Journal.
