The protostellar disk that surrounds developing stars are constantly penetrated by magnetic flux, and if too much magnetic flux remained, ...

The baby star at the center is surrounded by a bright disk called a protostellar disk. Spikes of magnetic flux, gas, and dust in blue. Researchers found that the protostellar disk will expel ...

Large dust grains in the protostellar outflow cavity walls of the Class I binary L1551 IRS5, Astronomy & Astrophysics (2025). DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202554750 Provided by National Radio Astronomy ...

New observations have revealed a spiral pattern in a disk of material around a still forming, but already high-mass, baby star. This indicates that there is gravitational instability in the disk ...

For example, in the Taurus cloud, SPHERE observed roughly 20 percent of the nebula’s Class II objects (those where the light from the newly born star is just emerging from the protostellar murk ...

A computer-generated image depicting a dark protostellar disk seen edge-on at 90 degrees to jets (orange) emanating from the poles of a young star.

They are flattened because they form from the compression of an already flat structure, the protostellar disc, but also because of how they rotate. No flat Earths Although these protoplanets overall ...

This indicates that there is gravitational instability in the disk, which has important implications for how high-mass stars form. As a star forms, a protostellar disk helps to feed material to ...

The protostellar disk that surrounds developing stars are constantly penetrated by magnetic flux, and if too much magnetic flux remained, the ...

Our bodies can sometimes forcefully expel dust in our noses in the form of a sneeze. A similar phenomenon may be happening in baby stars. Some new observations of the protostellar disk that ...
