Understanding the gas from which stars form is a fundamental goal in astrophysics. This is a pressing issue for pristine galaxies — those low in heavy elements, known as metals — whose growth remains ...

Researchers spotted a colossal cloud of gas and dust in the Milky Way, filled with turbulent motion, newborn star seeds, and even a natural microwave laser. This newly found Midpoint cloud appears to ...

Protostellar jets were detected for the first time using ALMA in the Milky Way’s outer region, showing that star formation works similarly in distant, low-metallicity regions, whereas the chemistry ...

Astronomers have gained insights into star formation by capturing the first spatially resolved detection of protostellar outflows and jets in the Milky Way's outer region. The research is published in ...

The "cooling-flow problem" in galaxy clusters involves a discrepancy between the predicted rapid cooling of hot gas leading to intense star formation in central galaxies and the observed lack thereof ...

An international team of astronomers, co-led by researchers at the University of Galway, has made the unexpected discovery of a new planet. Detected at an early stage of formation around a young ...
