Ein Team von Astronomen, darunter Eva Schinnerer vom Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie, hat neue Beobachtungen von nahen Galaxien veröffentlicht, die einem bunten kosmischen Feuerwerk gleichen. Die Bilder, die mit dem Very Large Telescope (VLT) der Europäischen Südsternwarte (ESO) aufgenommen wurden, zeigen verschiedene Komponenten der Galaxien in unterschiedlichen Farben. Dieser neue Datensatz ermöglicht es den Astronomen, die Positionen junger Sterne und das Gas, das sie umgibt, genau z...

"We used to think that all stellar nurseries across every galaxy must look more or less the same, but this survey has revealed that this is not the case, and stellar nurseries change from place to place," lead author Adam Leroy, associate professor of astronomy at The Ohio State University, said in a statement. "These nurseries are responsible for building galaxies and making planets, and theyre just an essential part in the story of how we got here." This five-year survey was tackled using a s...

The survey charted more than 100,000 stellar nurseries across 90 galaxies.

Where a star is born Fascinating new insights from the 238 th meeting of the American Astronomical Society. Galaxies. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/S. Dagnello (NRAO) Stars like our Sun are born in stellar nurseries – cosmic clouds of dust and gas that churn out thousands of astral progeny in their lifetimes. In two new papers due to be presented this week at the 238 th meeting of the American Astronomical Society, scientists have for the first time charted the stellar nurseries in the nearby ...
