Chamilla Terp

Young, brilliant, and tired of being underestimated Physics student Chamilla Terp beat elite international researchers by slicing through an astrophysics mystery. She’d rather talk about her discovery than her gender — and she’s tired of backhanded com...

Lyset fra en fjern galakse har undret astrofysikere verden over. Nu har den 23-årige fysikstuderende Chamilla Terp løst den kosmiske gåde. To professorer er imponeret over hendes enkle måde at løse gåden på.

Ungt fysiktalent har set et mystisk lys fra en fjern galakse og har løst en kosmisk gåde

An area of deep space is covered by a scattering of galaxies in many shapes and in colours ranging from blue to whitish to orange, as well as a few nearby stars. A very small square is shown zoomed in, in a box to the left. In the centre a red dot, a faraway galaxy, is marked out by lines and labelled “Redshift (z)=13”, signifying its extreme distance. Two much larger galaxies are labelled “z=0.63” and “z=0.70”. The box is titled “JADES-GS-z13-1”.

Astronomers have identified powerful hydrogen emission in one of the most distant galaxies known — a probable sign that we are seeing some of the first hot stars from the dawn of the Universe ✨

Carrying out our own independent analysis, together with Clara Pollock, @joriswitstok.bsky.social, and @chamillaterp.bsky.social here at DAWN/NBI @ucph.bsky.social, we confirmed the dense, massive foreground HI gas, completely enshrouding this remarkably bright nascent galaxy

Exciting article (for the Danish speaking crowd) about @chamillaterp.bsky.social (Masters student in the PRIMORDIAL group) and her recent paper published in A&A!
