The integrated galactic initial mass function (IGIMF) describes the mass spectrum of all newly formed stars in a galaxy. The IGIMF is calculated by adding all stars of all newly formed star clusters 4 ...

Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) found a young star surrounded by an astonishing mass of gas. The star, called 49 Ceti, is 40 million years old and ...

What specific processes are responsible for planetary formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to address as an international team of ...

When a star passes too close to a supermassive black hole, tidal forces tear it apart, producing a bright flare of radiation as material from the star falls into the black hole. Astronomers study the ...

An international team of astronomers, led by Dutch scientists, has discovered a region in our Milky Way that contains many nitrogen compounds in the southeast of a butterfly-shaped star formation disk ...
