“Our goal is to make glasses that make you super intelligent the moment you put them on,”
said AnhPhu Nguyen, co-founder of Halo, a startup that’s developing the technology. 
Or, as his co-founder Caine Ardayfio put it, the glasses “give you infinite m…

Transient star B/R ratio and star formation in $z\gtrsim 1$ lensed galaxies
The extreme magnification from galaxy clusters and microlenses therein allows the detection of individual, luminous stars in lensed galaxies as transient events, and hence provides a valuable window into the high mass stellar population in $z>1$ galaxies. As these bright stars can only be formed at specific ages, the relative abundance of transient events at blue (B) and red (R) optical wavelengths ($B/R$ ratio) can provide insights into the star formation history of lensed galaxies. Here, we f…
