The observational campaign, detailed in a paper published Dec. 9 on the arXiv preprint server, delivers important insights into the protostar's disk and jet system. Protostars, also known as young ...

doughnut-shaped disk of gas and dust that circles young stars. HH 30 is a luminous region surrounding a newborn star, or protostar, which is forming as stellar winds or jets of gas spewing forth ...

The goal was to see if and how the magnetic fields influenced how the star accretes material from the surrounding disk. "In the 10 Gauss case, where the protostar is weakly magnetized, we can see ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a belching protostar in its infancy. By studying the dust grains whirling around it, astronomers hope to better understand how solar systems like our ...

The gravitational collapse of rotating, denser-than-average "cores" within a molecular cloud results in the creation of a central protostar surrounded by a flattened spinning disk of gaseous material, ...

The HH 30 system features high-speed bipolar jets and a dusty disk, potentially forming new ... by high-speed jets of ionized gas that a young protostar emits. These jets into the surrounding ...
