UR: Mass segregation in star clusters: nature or nurture?

UR: Mass segregation in star clusters: nature or nurture?

by Guest | Nov 10, 2020 | Undergraduate Research

In today’s undergraduate research post, we see that massive stars are often found in the centers of stellar clusters. Are they born there or do they move there at a later stage?
