Hedorah, the first yellow supergiant Kaiju star candidate at z=3.7 revealed by JWST behind AS1063
The episode discusses a JWST paper identifying 'Hedorah,' a yellow supergiant star candidate at redshift z=3.7, revealed behind galaxy cluster AS1063. Hosts discuss how this discovery challenges stellar evolution models and the use of the cluster as a natural telescope. The study improves lens modeling techniques and suggests future observations to probe dark matter.
