Exploring the law of star-formation through a spatially resolved study of two spiral galaxies
Today’s guest post from Nimisha Kumari looks at how different properties of galaxies can affect the Schmidt-Kennicutt Law.
The Centre of Attention
Deep imaging of a nearby dwarf galaxy reveals a new globular cluster.
Waltz across Galactic Nuclei
Stars and gas waltz across galactic nuclei as star formation proceeds. Let’s see how well they dance!
Mapping Gravity in Stellar Nurseries
Gravity turns gas into stars. Today’s astrobite introduces a new way to study gravity’s pull in a molecular cloud – the birthplace of new stars.
Reinventing star-formation
Just when you think you’ve understood star formation and how galaxies form, someone pulls the rug out from under you…
Where are the Sun’s grandparents?
Our Sun’s ancestors are thought to form out of the primordial composition of the early Universe, almost pure hydrogen and helium. How likely are we to observe such stars?
