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).

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 ...

There are many more low-mass stars than high-mass stars because star formation favors objects ... The researchers believe there are two possible scenarios that have placed J1249+36 on its swift path.
