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 ...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope together with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have looked deeply at thousands of young star clusters in four nearby galaxies, studying ...
How do rogue planetary-mass objects -- celestial bodies with masses between stars and planets -- form? An international team of astronomers has used advanced simulations to show that these enigmatic ...
Massive young star clusters burn through the gas and dust that birthed them in roughly five million years, while their lower-mass counterparts take seven to eight million years to do the same. That ...
The Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes have revealed thousands of young star clusters emerging from their birth clouds. The observations, published in Nature Astronomy, show that more massive ...
JWST star cluster feedback measurements from Debosmita Pathak at AAS 248 reveal how radiation pressure, stellar winds, and ...
