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

Stars are born in clouds of gas and dust, making it difficult to observe their early development. But researchers at Chalmers ...

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 ...

FS Tau B is a newly forming star, or protostar, and is surrounded by a protoplanetary disc, a pancake-shape collection of dust and gas left over from the formation of the star that will eventually ...

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, ...
