Astronomers catalog 825 galaxy cluster candidates

Original: Astronomers have compiled a comprehensive catalog of 825 galaxy cluster and group candidates spanning a vast cosmic time

Astronomers have compiled a comprehensive catalog of 825 galaxy cluster and group candidates, stretching across cosmic history to distances of around 11 billion light-years. The team used deep infrared and optical imaging of the Boötes field to identify the candidates. The catalog offers researchers a broad dataset for studying how galaxy clusters formed and evolved over billions of years.

Why now: The new catalog spans an unusually vast cosmic timeline, drawing attention from astronomy communities.
