Over time, the universe evolved from a primordial soup of hydrogen and helium into the metal-rich environments of today. How exactly does the chemistry of galaxies evolve, and what processes drive this evolution?
Everyone wants to find a habitable planet. The authors of today’s paper make a compelling case that the HR 5183 system is not the best place to look.
Stars of all masses can have their outer layers stripped away during interactions with a binary companion. Today’s bite reports the first-ever discovery of intermediate-mass stripped stars, which are thought to be the main progenitors of stripped-envelope supernovae!
This article reveals how the magnetic field, surpassing internal forces like gravity and turbulence, prevents star formation in the Horsehead nebula. This discovery highlights the crucial role magnetic fields play in shaping stellar nurseries, paving the way for further investigations into the intricate interplay between magnetic forces and star formation.
Astronomers will literally see a very young star running away from its peers and call it a RATT.
