UR: Mass segregation in star clusters: nature or nurture?
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?
Discovering a new class of supermassive oscillating star with TESS
Today’s authors have possibly found a new type of variable star in a class of massive supergiant stars.
A Windy Day in the Milky Way
Feedback from star clusters can have a major effect on the surrounding gas. Today’s paper investigates whether star clusters can also drive turbulence and what that means for our understanding of stellar feedback.
Salt and Hot Water around Massive Protostars
The discovery of table salt and super-heated water in two massive protostellar disks hints at a new type of “hot-disk” chemistry.
The Formation of Massive Stars
New simulations provide insights on the processes behind the formation of massive stars
A Super Runner in the Milky Way
LAMOST found a massive young star with “super speed” running away from the Milky Way!
