Tiny dwarf galaxies may have ended the universe's 'Cosmic Dark Age', astronomers say

ماہرین فلکیات کا کہنا ہے کہ چھوٹی بونی کہکشاؤں نے کائنات کا 'کاسمک ڈارک ایج' ختم کیا ہوگا

खगोलविदों का कहना है कि छोटी बौनी आकाशगंगाओं ने ब्रह्मांड का 'कॉस्मिक डार्क एज' समाप्त किया होगा

Tiny dwarf galaxies may have ended the universe's 'Cosmic Dark Age', astronomers say

Key points

मुख्य बातें

  • About 400,000 years after the Big Bang, the universe was filled with dense hydrogen gas and had no sources of light — the so-called Cosmic Dark Age.
  • As stars formed, their light cleared the fog by reionising the gas, but it was unclear which galaxies did the job.
  • New research published in Nature, using the James Webb Space Telescope and the giant Pandora's Cluster as a magnifying glass, studied eight faint dwarf galaxies and found that stars in small, faint galaxies were likely responsible.
  • بگ بینگ کے تقریباً 400,000 سال بعد کائنات گھنی ہائیڈروجن گیس سے بھری ہوئی تھی اور اس میں روشنی کا کوئی ذریعہ نہیں تھا — اسے 'کاسمک ڈارک ایج' کہا جاتا ہے۔ جب ستارے بنے تو ان کی روشنی نے گیس کو دوبارہ آئنائز کر کے دھند صاف کر دی، لیکن یہ واضح نہیں تھا کہ یہ کام کس کہکشاؤں نے کیا۔ نیچر میں شائع ہونے والی نئی تحقیق میں جیمز ویب خلائی دوربین اور بڑے پینڈورا کلسٹر کو میگنفائنگ گلاس کے طور پر استعمال کرتے ہوئے آٹھ مدھم بونی کہکشاؤں کا مطالعہ کیا گیا، اور پایا گیا کہ چھوٹی مدھم کہکشاؤں کے ستارے ہی اس کے ذمہ دار رہے ہوں گے۔ پہلے خیال تھا کہ ان کہکشاؤں سے تقریباً 20 فیصد آئنائزنگ فوٹونز کا نکلنا ضروری ہوگا؛ نئے اعداد بتاتے ہیں کہ صرف 5 فیصد بھی کافی ہوگا، جو جدید کہکشاؤں سے نکلنے والے حصے کے قریب ہے۔ مصنفین نے خبردار کیا ہے کہ یہ مطالعہ صرف ایک سمت میں آٹھ کہکشاؤں پر مبنی تھا، اس لیے آسمان کے دوسرے حصوں کی جانچ ابھی باقی ہے۔
  • बिग बैंग के लगभग 400,000 वर्ष बाद ब्रह्मांड घनी हाइड्रोजन गैस से भरा हुआ था और उसमें प्रकाश का कोई स्रोत नहीं था — इसे 'कॉस्मिक डार्क एज' कहा जाता है। जब तारे बने, तो उनकी रोशनी ने गैस को पुनः आयनित करके धुंध साफ़ कर दी, लेकिन यह स्पष्ट नहीं था कि यह काम किन आकाशगंगाओं ने किया। नेचर में प्रकाशित नए शोध में जेम्स वेब अंतरिक्ष दूरबीन और विशाल पेंडोरा क्लस्टर को आवर्धक काँच के रूप में इस्तेमाल करते हुए आठ धुंधली बौनी आकाशगंगाओं का अध्ययन किया गया, और पाया गया कि छोटी, धुंधली आकाशगंगाओं के तारे ही इसके ज़िम्मेदार रहे होंगे। पहले माना जाता था कि इन आकाशगंगाओं से लगभग 20 प्रतिशत आयनकारी फोटॉनों का निकलना ज़रूरी होगा; नए आंकड़े बताते हैं कि सिर्फ 5 प्रतिशत भी काफी होगा, जो आधुनिक आकाशगंगाओं से निकलने वाले अंश के करीब है। लेखकों ने चेतावनी दी है कि यह अध्ययन सिर्फ एक दिशा में आठ आकाशगंगाओं पर आधारित था, इसलिए आकाश के अन्य हिस्सों की जाँच अभी बाकी है।

About 400,000 years after the Big Bang, the universe was filled with dense hydrogen gas and had no sources of light — the so-called Cosmic Dark Age. As stars formed, their light cleared the fog by reionising the gas, but it was unclear which galaxies did the job. New research published in Nature, using the James Webb Space Telescope and the giant Pandora's Cluster as a magnifying glass, studied eight faint dwarf galaxies and found that stars in small, faint galaxies were likely responsible. Earlier thinking said about 20 percent of ionising photons would need to escape these galaxies; the new data suggest even 5 percent would be enough, close to the fraction seen escaping modern galaxies. The authors caution the study covered only eight galaxies along one line of sight, so other parts of the sky must still be checked.
