Astronomers find the youngest known protostars yetStars are born in hiding, behind layers of dust, deep within the clouds of molecular gas whose collapse brings them into existence. The younger a star ...

This article is more than 6 years old. Scientists have seen for the first time that early protostars can have wonky dust disks, throwing the planets that might form around them into misalignment.

March 22, 2021 Images of protostars located in the Orion Complex, as captured by the Hubble Space Telescope NASA, ESA, STScI, N. Habel and S. T. Megeath (University of Toledo) View 2 Images ...

A recent study led by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics challenges conventional notions of star formation by revealing the intricate connection between streamers and ...

As protostars ingest raw material, they have counter-balancing emissions of material they don't need. Such "outflow" is important to researchers because it can be measured more easily, unlike the ...

Protostars are large masses of gaseous molecular cloud which evolve through various stages before giving birth to stars. Abundance of different chemical species can help distinguish these ...

Starbirth surprisingly energetic: New insights into protostars Date: August 20, 2013 Source: European Southern Observatory - ESO Summary: Astronomers have obtained a vivid close-up view of ...

Digging Into The Details — The two protostars share an unwieldy name (IRAS 16293-2422 A) and a very close orbit around their common center of gravity. They’re just 54 astronomical units apart ...
