Astronomers using ALMA have made the first spatially resolved detection of protostellar jets and outflows in the Milky Way’s ...

The primary mechanism responsible for quenching star formation in galaxies and transforming them into quiescent and passive systems is still unclear.

Astronomers have gained insights into star formation by capturing the first spatially resolved detection of protostellar outflows and jets in the ...

New observations have confirmed a key step in the process of star formation: a rotating “cosmic wind” made of molecules, which is vitally important for collapsing gas clouds to contract sufficiently ...

But a dwarf galaxy is even more likely to have an atypical star-formation process than the Milky Way. So we really needed more general measures of the sizes of stars being formed in the larger ...

“Three years into its mission, Webb continues to deliver on its design – revealing previously hidden aspects of the universe, from the star formation process to some of the earliest galaxies ...

Primordial star formation was a very different process from the type of star formation that occurs today.

According to the research, the new simulations showed that the early galaxies captured by JWST could indeed owe their surprising brightness to a process known as bursty star formation.

Scientists have created a realistic and colorfully stunning simulation of what star formation looks like – a process that takes millions of years.
