Investigating Diffuse Starlight in Anthill Galaxy with HST


Color image of 4C 41.17, also known as the Anthill Galaxy.


Using archival HST WFC3 data taken in broadband filters F105W and F160W of the proto-cluster galaxy 4C 41.17 (also known as the Anthill Galaxy), we image the diffuse low-surface-brightness stellar continuum that traces a large stellar population in the circum-galactic medium (CGM). These observations provide color information on the various stellar populations, to investigate their relative ages in search for in-situ star formation in-between the proto-cluster galaxies at high redshift.


About Me


Hello and welcome! I’m Azia Robinson, an astrophysicist and educator driven by a fascination with the mechanics of the universe and a passion for uncovering its many mysteries.

My research focuses on massive star formation and galaxy evolution, with a particular emphasis on high redshift objects.

By leveraging multi-wavelength observational data, I aim to illuminate how high-mass stars are born, evolve, and influence the large-scale structure of the early universe.

On this site, you’ll find an overview of my academic background, detailed descriptions of my research projects, a comprehensive list of my publications, and more—all reflecting the spirit and dedication that drive my work.

I hope these pages convey the same sense of wonder and curiosity that inspires me every day.

Thank you for visiting! I invite you to explore my CV, learn about my scientific journey, and connect with me to discuss new ideas, teaching strategies, and more .

Let’s continue exploring the universe together!


Hello, there! I would love to hear from you.
