Four Spiral Arms Walk into a Bar…
Mapping the structure of dense gas in the Milky Way is a huge undertaking… which is why we have huge surveys!
The Need for (Sound) Speed
The fractal dimension as a new way to explore the mysterious link between turbulence and star formation.
It Isn’t Gatorade Quenching This Galaxy
Post-starburst galaxies have stopped forming new stars, but astronomers are still trying to figure out why. Today’s paper looks at an unusual galaxy to see what might be quenching its star formation.
The Missing Link: New Insights from Post-starburst Outflows
What can outflowing gas tell us about the connection between rapid galaxy growth and AGN activity?
Polarime-trying to Map Magnetic Fields in the Orion Nebula
Molecular clouds act as stellar nurseries, creating environments for stars to form. However, according to polarimetry measurements of OMC-1’s magnetic field, there’s an explosion going on that would disrupt any lullaby.
QUESTing for an answer: Elucidating the role of gas in star-formation
What makes a starburst galaxy? Do they have more gas or more efficient star-formation?
