Accretion is the process that dictates the mass, and therefore final fate, of a forming star. Now, it seems that the number of stars forming in a system can affect and even induce accretion throughout ...

Using the NOrthern Extended Millimeter Array (NOEMA) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), Chinese astronomers have observed a young stellar object known as G24.33+0.14 in the ...

A team led by Prof. Mao Jirong from the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with international researchers, has recently published a study in The Astrophysical ...

The accretion burst discovered in S255IR NIRS 3 adds fundamental information to our understanding of the high-mass star formation process. Our observations finally confirm that HMYSOs form through ...

An artist's impression of an accretion disk feeding the central protostar and a jet coming out from the protostar. Yin-Chih Tsai/ASIAA Nearly 1,300 light-years from Earth lies a young star that’s ...

Astronomers are shedding light on the mystery of matter accretion in young stars. Their discovery helps explain how matter accumulates on the surface of a young star and reconciles the theory behind ...
