erupting from a star that sits at the heart of a natal cloud of gas and dust called IRAS 18162-204. This cloud is located around 5,540 light-years away. Moreover, the helical magnetic fields in ...

Important changes in the dynamos operating in these stars may result from this evolution, which should be observable in their surface magnetic fields. Here we present a study aimed at observing the ...

The team behind this research reached that conclusion when they detected a helix-shaped magnetic field within a protostellar jet designated HH 80-81. HH 80-81 is the fastest protostellar jet ever seen ...

it may seem like infant stars and supermassive black holes have very little in common. The team behind this research reached that conclusion when they detected a helix-shaped magnetic field within ...

Abstract: Zeeman–Doppler imaging is a spectropolarimetric technique that is used to map the large-scale surface magnetic fields of stars. These maps in turn are used to study the structure of the ...

The missing ingredient for cooking up stars has been spotted for the first time by astronomers. Much like a pressure cooker has a weight on top of its lid to keep the pressure in, merging galaxies may ...
