Toward Unbreaking the Universe: MINERVA Measurements of Color Gradients in Massive Quiescent Galaxies Can Help Ease Too-early Star Formation Tensions
The discovery of a population of massive, ancient quiescent galaxies within the first 2 Gyr of the Universe’s history has led to significant tensions with models of galaxy formation. However, these analyses are often based on slit spectroscopy, which typically captures only the centermost region of these galaxies and,...
