IRAS 20126+4104 is a protostar at a distance of about 5,300 light years away from Earth. It has a bolometric luminosity of 13,000 solar luminosities and its mass is estimated to be approximately ...

Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. A protoplanetary disk is composed of low-temperature molecular gas and dust, surrounding a protostar. If a planet exists in the disk, ...

'Missing link' protostar may prove solar system's water is older than the sun. ... This showed that the disk contains no less than 1,200 times the water found in all of Earth's oceans combined.

Hubble captures three infant stars lighting up a blue nebula, with a secret protostar forming in a shadowed disc below.

The nascent protostar continues to draw mass to itself, and the in-falling material spirals around the center to create an accretion disk. The protostar within L1527 is only 100,000 years and thus ...

An international group of scientists, including two astrophysicists from the Ural Federal University, for the first time managed to see the structure of the accretion disk of a massive protostar (G358 ...

Scientists studying a nearby protostar have detected the presence of water in its circumstellar disk. The new observations made with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) mark ...

The network imaged the protostar six times over the course of 2019. In a 2020 paper, Burn’s team released the preliminary results from the first two observations, made in February 2019, which showed ...

Protostar L1527 is relatively young at only about 100,000 years old – for comparison, our Sun is estimated to be 4.5 billion years old. The protostar and protoplanetary disk encircling it is ...

The protostar, called HH 30, is what's known in astronomy as a Herbig-Haro object – a bright patch of cosmic emission associated with newborn stars. The Hubble Space Telescope was the first to ...

Using the ALMA radio telescope in northern Chile, Tobin and his colleagues observed the protoplanetary disc around V883 Orionis. This is a protostar – a very young star that is still accumulating ...
