The rapid assembly of an elliptical galaxy of 400 billion solar masses at a redshift of 2.3

Show other versions (1)

Stellar archaeology shows that massive elliptical galaxies formed rapidly about ten billion years ago with star-formation rates of above several hundred solar masses per year. Their progenitors are probably the submillimetre bright galaxies at redshifts z greater than 2. Although the mean molecular...
