摘要
The individual star-forming regions of the massive galaxies in the early Universe, at redshifts of around z = 2, are beyond the reach of even the largest of today's telescopes. But with help from gravitational lensing by a massive intervening galaxy cluster, brightening the image 32-fold and making it look larger, intense star formation has been observed in the submillimetre galaxy SMMJ2135-0102 at redshift z = 2.3259. The results reveal luminosity densities comparable to those of the dense cores of giant molecular clouds in the local Universe, suggesting that the underlying physics of star formation is similar to that of nearby galaxies, though the regions in the distant galaxies are about 100 times larger and 107 times more luminous overall.
