In this week’s episode, Michelle and Payel discuss whether comets are able to deliver prebiotic feedstock molecules in the high concentrations required for prebiotic chemistry, whether merger-driven and secular-drive starburst dwarf galaxies, whether ultra-diffuse galaxies could be the missing link for globulater cluster formation, and whether examining local little red dots can shed light on their apparent X-ray weakness. Tune in below, or on Spotify and Apple.
