What superpower does a dwarf galaxy have?
We know that a cluster can be a dangerous place for a young star trying to form some new planets. Radiation and winds from massive stars can evaporate the planetary disc, and the gravitational pull from fly-bys of other stars can disrupt the disc and drag the planet-forming material away.
Tide goes in, dark matter halos come out, today’s authors can simulate that! With separate universe simulations!
The authors of today’s paper take us on a treasure hunt of baby massive stars, come join us!
The proportions of stars at different masses is an important, but challenging, quantity to measure. In this paper we take a look at a nearby stellar birthing region to snare a representative sample.
