Forming Ancient Stars
One of the big mysteries in astrophysics is the formation of the first stars. This simulation presents one possible formation mechanism for ancient stars.
Origin of tidal streams in the M 81 group
The interacting galaxies in the M 81 triplet are interconnected by tidal features. In this work, the authors study dust in the NGC 3077 tidal stream and discuss its implications.
How does chemical composition affect star formation?
Incorporating all the effects relevant to star formation into accurate simulations of the interstellar medium is a major frontier in astrophysics. These authors start to tackle the effects of chemical composition.
