Many assumptions are used as input for photoionization codes that model HII regions. Today’s paper explores how these assumptions are oversimplified and emphasizes the need for more physically realistic ones.
In the latest of our #UndergradResearch series, explore how Jia Wei Teh examines young star clusters and tries to match them to HII regions!
The startender asks, “How are the three of you working together?!”
In the latest of our #UndergradResearch series, discover Alexander Johnson’s research on detecting HII regions in the Milky Way’s most distant spiral arm.
When HII regions expand, they look like an inflating balloon. But what happens after that balloon pops?
This hot and massive star is blowing a bubble of ionized Hydrogen, which forms spider web-like filaments of material that may be the catalyst for forming other massive stars.
