Gaia spots odd family of stars desperate to leave home

Stars in the Milky Way tend to form in families, with similar stars springing to life in roughly the same place at roughly the same time. These stars later head out into the wider galaxy when they’re ready to fly the nest. While smaller groups can completely dissipate, siblings from sizable families usually move similarly […]

Astronomers discover explosive outflow in star-forming complex using ALMA data

By analyzing the data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have investigated a star-forming region known as G34.26+0.15. As a result, they discovered an explosive outflow in this complex. The study was reported in a paper published on April 22 on the arXiv preprint server.
