#protostellar — Public Fediverse posts

[Observations and #simulations] In addition to #observations of protostars using #interferometers with ever-higher resolution, researchers are developing multidimensional numerical simulations.

The aim is to better understand the formation and evolution of the #protostellar disk and the #protostar through the different phases and scales of the collapse of a dense low- and high-mass core.

This Thursday, Benoît Commerçon, researcher @cnrs at the Centre de Recherche Astrophysique de Lyon (CRAL), will present to IRAPians the results obtained using “his” numerical experiments, as well as future developments ... https://www.irap.omp.eu/event/disk-and-protostar-formation-new-insights-from-3d-numerical-simulations/

This new image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James #Webb Space Telescope features Herbig-Haro 211 #HH211, a bipolar jet travelling through interstellar space at supersonic speeds: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2023/nasa-s-webb-snaps-supersonic-outflow-of-young-star/ and https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2023/09/Webb_snaps_supersonic_outflow_of_young_star and https://webbtelescope.org/contents/media/images/2023/141/01H9NWH9JEBFPKVD3M1RRTGGQJ - at roughly 1000 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Perseus, the object is one of the youngest and nearest #protostellar outflows, making it an ideal target for Webb.
