Early galaxies are dominated by bright clumps, which are larger and more massive than in the local Universe. The star formation activity is strongly influenced and can be even halted by a number of processes, some of which are directly related to the environment in which the galaxy resides. Ram pressure stripping, i.e. the removal
Gliese 229B was the first known brown dwarf, discovered in 1995. In new research, astronomers observed Gliese 229 B with the GRAVITY interferometer and, separately, the CRIRES+ spectrograph at ESO’s Very Large Telescope. Both sets of observations independently resolved Gliese 229B into two components, Gliese 229 Ba and Bb. They orbit each other every 12.1 days with a semimajor axis of
