Dr. Michelle Thaller showcased the James Webb Space Telescope’s breathtaking image of a 100,000-year-old protostar. Enveloped ...

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 ...

One possible explanation is that the disk has been pulled out of place by a companion star, which orbits the protostar at a distance of around 635 astronomical units (635 times the distance ...

"Formation of Dust Clumps with Sub-Jupiter Mass and Cold Shadowed Region in Gravitationally Unstable Disk around Class 0/I Protostar in L1527 IRS" ...

You can't actually see the glow from the protostar itself because it's hidden within a dense, spinning disc of gas and dust. All you get are the pinky-red jets that it's shooting out in polar ...

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, ...
