Unveiling the hidden stars: ALMA Shines a Light on Dust Attenuation
2023.06.15 8:13 - Marek Pawłowski
Interstellar dust is a key component in galaxies. It favors star formation and drives the chemistry and physics of the interstellar medium. However, it hides the majority of stars in a way that it is impossible to observe them. Astrophysicists use dust attenuation laws that would uncover these hidden stars by reverse-engineering the light from galaxies to quantify how many stars are there.

Optimal mix in the „Energy Transformation Observatory” project
2023.06.07 12:27 - Piotr Spinalski
Carrying out an effective energy transformation requires, among others: comprehensive monitoring of the progress of its implementation, which must be based on current and reliable data analyses. Such activities will be carried out at NCBJ as part of the „Energy Transformation Observatory” project that is just starting.
