Study fuses UVIT, Webb images to unravel star formation impact

In a first, the researchers fused high-resolution images from the UltraViolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) aboard the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro)’s AstroSat and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), to investigate the impact of star formation on the properties of PAH molecules.

Searching for life in the dead of space

Recently, scientists from Cambridge found for the first time CO2 and methane in the atmosphere of a habitable zone exoplanet, in addition to possible evidence of another molecule that could be indicative of life. In a conversation with DH, Professor Nikku Madhusudhan, lead author of the study, explains the science behind exoplanet remote-sensing and the search for alien life.

Possible signs of life on faraway planet detected in study led by Indian-origin scientist

The study, led by Indian-origin astronomer Nikku Madhusudhan, found for the first time the presence of a particular molecule on an exoplanet. That molecule, on Earth at least, is only produced by living organisms.

The story of our Universe may be starting to unravel

Over the past 60 years, cosmology has become ever more precise in its ability to account for the best available data about the universe. But along the way astrophysicists have had to postulate the existence of components of the universe for which we have no direct evidence.
