Astronomers peering into the Large Magellanic Cloud have caught a white-dwarf crime scene in the act of giving up its secrets ...

The team also estimates the mass outflow and mass accretion rates, which suggest that a star of high mass is forming within the M17 disk. This is an additional clue that high-mass stars form in a ...

High-mass, massive and luminous are all terms used to indicate O-B type stars in excess of ∼ 8 solar masses (8).Throughout their lives such stars have a great impact on the interstellar gas ...

This high-mass protostar is the third ever case of an observationally confirmed growth burst, and was intensely studied by the maser monitoring organisation (M2O, www.masermonitoring.org).

High-mass stars are the most important drivers of the chemical evolution of the universe. Because they are more massive, they produce more heavy metals, evolve more rapidly, ...

However, only 1% of stars are considered high mass and why so few massive stars form is a longstanding puzzle of astrophysics. “There has been a school of thought that high-mass star formation must be ...
