Astronomers detect tiny gas drift in Taurus dark cloud that could kick-start star birth
"As ambipolar diffusion continues, the strength of the magnetic field decreases." ...
This process weakens magnetic support, allowing the core to collapse and eventually form a protostar. Credit: Yurika Nakamura ...
Astronomers using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) have discovered jets of material ejected by still-forming young brown dwarfs. The discovery is the first direct evidence that brown dwarfs, ...
The researchers traced gas inflow from ~2,500 astronomical units (AU) to ~40 AU from the protostar. (One AU is the average distance between Earth and the sun.) Their findings, published on September ...
Stars are born in clouds of gas and dust, making it difficult to observe their early development. But researchers at Chalmers have now succeeded in simulating how a star with the mass of the sun ...
Starting from the upper left and moving clockwise from large to small scales: upper left —"spiral-like" system; upper right — "bar-like" structure; lower right — rotating infalling envelope; lower ...
