What can outflowing gas tell us about the connection between rapid galaxy growth and AGN activity?
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.
What makes a starburst galaxy? Do they have more gas or more efficient star-formation?
An explosive stellar merger reveals the first radioactive molecule discovered in space.
A Seyfert 2 galaxy’s energetic nucleus creates impressive twin outflows, but how are they affecting its star formation?
