The study highlights that the kinematic differences between multiple populations are key to understanding the formation and evolution mechanisms of these ancient structures.

The study of galaxies and their star formation processes remains a cornerstone of modern astrophysics. Galaxies are the fundamental building blocks of the Universe, each hosting a complex ...

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

Previous research on the formation and evolution of star clusters has suggested that these systems tend to be compact and dense when they form, before expanding with time to become clusters of ...

At the center of the image, the most striking feature is the binary star system Pismis 24-1. Once mistakenly thought to be ...

NASA's James Webb and Hubble telescopes have captured stunning images of a young star, IRAS 04302, revealing a butterfly-like ...

Deidre A. Hunter, Star Formation in Irregular Galaxies: A Review of Several Key Questions, Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, Vol. 109, No. 739 (1997 September), pp. 937-950 ...

The formation and evolution of galaxies are key points in understanding the history of the universe and restricting the parameters of cosmology.

Star formation — and galaxy evolution — involves a number of complex factors, ranging from hydrodynamics to the effect of radiation and the chemistry of nuclear reactions.

The formation of stars determines where new planetary systems can arise as well as the structure and evolution of galaxies. Learning more about star formation could help scientists understand the ...

This new simulation is 100 times larger than previous star formation models, and it could help scientists understand the nuances of star birth and distribution.
