This Collection features original research on the mechanisms driving star formation, the lifecycle of various stellar types, and the complex interactions between stars and their environments. The ...

Star formation is an intricate process that transforms vast molecular clouds into newborn stars, often accompanied by the formation of circumstellar discs composed of gas and dust. These ...

The Core And Filament Formation/Evolution In Natal Environments (CAFFEINE) survey is an "astronomer's best friend," according to the European Southern Observatory.

Baby pictures are some of a family's most cherished artifacts. The same thing can be said of the Hubble Space Telescope and ...

These three galaxy images from the AEGIS survey show a range of galaxy types: a disk-like spiral galaxy (top), a cloud-like elliptical galaxy (middle), and an irregular galaxy resulting from a ...

A new study is challenging the understanding of planetary disk formation around young stars. It reveals that the environment plays a crucial role in determining the size and lifetime of these ...

The combination of theoretical models and empirical data provides a new perspective for understanding the complex interactions between young stars and their environments. A study led by Paolo Padoan, ...

A nearby active galaxy called VV 340a offers a dramatic look at how a supermassive black hole can reshape its entire host.

Stars usually form in clusters, which can also form in pairs or groups. Binary clusters (BCs) are defined as pairs of open clusters closely associated both in position and kinematics. They provide ...

Professor Woong-bae Zee of the College of Liberal Studies at Sejong University has revealed that a galaxy does not possess only a single evolutionary pathway; instead, depending on the nature of its ...

Optical proof of a tiny companion orbiting supergiant star Betelgeuse is hard to come by. Hubble just spotted new evidence.

Sweeping winds of vaporized metals have been found in a massive cloud that dimmed the light of a star for nearly nine months.
