"submillimeter galaxy" meaning in English

See submillimeter galaxy in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Forms: submillimeter galaxies [plural]
Etymology: From submillimeter + galaxy. From being a high-redshift galaxy whose emissions are primarily submillimetre-wave radiation (terahertz-radiation (T-wave/T-ray); electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than infrared and shorter than microwave/radiowave). Etymology templates: {{compound|en|submillimeter|galaxy}} submillimeter + galaxy Head templates: {{en-noun}} submillimeter galaxy (plural submillimeter galaxies)
  1. (astronomy) A type of starburst galaxy that primarily emits radiation in the sub-mm/T-hertz range. Due to the extreme dustiness of the galaxy, they are visible mostly in infrared emissions at their redshift, which are subsequently redshifted into the submm/THz range by Hubble expansion. Categories (topical): Galaxies Synonyms: submillimetre galaxy Hypernyms: starburst galaxy, galaxy Coordinate_terms: compact elliptical galaxy (alt: cE/CEG) (english: the type of galaxy that submillimeter galaxies evolve into, at lower redshifts (z)), compact elliptical (cE/CEG) (alt: cE/CEG) (english: the type of galaxy that submillimeter galaxies evolve into, at lower redshifts (z))
