..., while darker regions correspond to patches of the sky where fewer stars are observed and dense clouds of interstellar gas and dust absorb starlight along the line of sight. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds...
... afterglow on the other hand is thought to originate from external shocks caused by the jet’s interaction with the interstellar medium (ISM). To properly determine the physical properties of GRB emission, a wide range of accurate multi-wavelength...
... of the gaseous disk in which they form is considered a main driving force. Stars initially form from a cloud of interstellar gas that is collapsing under its own gravity and, in a process that can be compared to a figure skater doing...
... will allow us to make detailed studies of water in a wide range of objects including forming and evolved stars, the interstellar medium and regions close to supermassive black holes.”
... formed dust directly, and ongoing studies will help us understand how it forms and how supernovas seed interstellar space with the raw material for new planetary systems." Aside from the dust, astronomers are...
...: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/Lee et al. Accretion disks are most likely made of silicate, iron, and other interstellar matter. Due to their triple-layer appearance, the research team has described the accretion disk as very...
