The chaotic cores of Perseus protostars
The formation of a star has a simple tale. A region of interstellar gas collapses under its own weight, eventually forming a dense protostar surrounded by a disk of gas and dust. The protostar and the disk rotate in the same plane, and often jets of.....»»
Webb snaps supersonic outflow of young star
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a high-resolution look at Herbig-Haro 211 (HH 211), a bipolar jet traveling through interstellar space at supersonic speeds. At roughly 1,000 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Perseus, the.....»»
Researchers discover gravitational collapse and accretion flows in hub filament system G323.46-0.08
Hub-filament systems are ubiquitous in molecular clouds. Most dense clumps and cores are formed in filaments and play a key role in star formation process. Therefore, investigating hub-filament system is one of the best ways to understand high-mass s.....»»
Motion of stars near Milky Way"s central black hole is only predictable for a few hundred years
The orbits of 27 stars orbiting closely around the black hole at the center of our Milky Way are so chaotic that researchers cannot predict with confidence where they will be in about 462 years. This finding emerges from simulations by three astronom.....»»

How do you weigh a star? Masses of RR Lyrae stars revealed through their pulsations
RR Lyrae stars are old, pulsating stars that burn helium in their cores for fuel. Their progenitors were similar to our sun, but they are now much larger and brighter than our sun. We know of hundreds of thousands of RR Lyrae stars within the Milky W.....»»
Multiwavelength quantum well nanowire array micro-LED for on-chip optical communication
As the number of cores in a processor continues to grow, so too does the challenge of connecting them all together. Traditional electrical networks fall short due to latency, limited bandwidth, and high-power consumption. Researchers have long sought.....»»

Plankton evidence reveals a seasonally ice-free ocean during the Last Interglacial
A subpolar species associated with Atlantic water expanded far into the Arctic Ocean during the Last Interglacial, analysis of microfossil content of sediment cores reveals. This implies that summers in the Arctic were ice free during this period. Th.....»»
Aggression in restaurant kitchens makes for good TV but lousy working conditions, say researchers: Q&A
