Astronomers trace ghost particle to a distant star-forming galaxy
Astronomers linked a high-energy neutrino detected in 2021 by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory to a star-forming galaxy named Shadow Blaster, 11 billion light-years away. The study, led by Yuji Urata of MITOS Science Co. Ltd., suggests Shadow Blaster's dense, dust-filled star-forming environment may produce high-energy neutrinos, marking the first direct connection between such a galaxy and a neutrino event.
