Astronomers have mapped 39 interstellar clouds where high-mass stars are expected to form. This large data set shows that the accepted model of low-mass star formation needs to be expanded to ...

The young star’s mass is about eight times that of the Sun and growing. At this mass and greater, a star will explode as a supernova at the end of its life. However, only 1% of stars are considered ...

A star like the sun takes roughly 12 billion years to fuse all its core hydrogen into helium. If the star has enough mass, it’ll squeeze that helium hard enough to fuse it into carbon ...

Star classification often depends on the mass of these suns—the biggest burn hottest and brightest, while other types of stars are cooler and longer-lived. Search for: Science ...

Researchers found for the first time evidence that even microquasars containing a low-mass star are efficient particle accelerators, which leads to a significant impact on the interpretation of ...

There are many more low-mass stars than high-mass stars because star formation favors objects of lower mass and stars with more mass have shorter lifespans, said study coauthor Roman Gerasimov, a ...

Jun 20, 2023: Observations of high-mass star seeds defy models (Nanowerk News) Astronomers have mapped 39 interstellar clouds where high-mass stars are expected to form.This large data set shows that ...
