Another great ALMA image: a group of researchers led by ProfessorXX studied the triple system IRAS 04239+2436 on the radio signals of sulfur monoxide (SO) and studied the arms generated in that kind of interaction, and compared them with simulations, and the agreement was fantastic.

Recent James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) discoveries have revealed fascinating insights into the early universe. According to the telescope, hundreds of galaxies existed when the universe was less than 600 million years old, with some galaxies even sparkling with young, hot stars. These findings give us a better understanding of how the first stars and galaxies came to be.

This is a very neat result: using ALMA, a team surveyed 39 massive cosmic clouds, or "star nurseries”… and found in the order of ~stellar seeds… and 99% of them lacked the mass to give birth to massive stars. It seems that core density might be more critical than mass for high-mass star formation.

"The interaction of a runaway supermassive black hole (SMBH) with the circumgalactic medium (CGM) can lead to the formation of a wake of shocked gas and young stars behind it. Here we report the serendipitous discovery of an extremely narrow linear feature in HST/ACS images that may be an example of such a wake."

Scientists, including those from , are using the to take a first look at how this telescope will detect the missing pieces of the puzzle in nearby . In a series of 21 articles, astronomers show the first results from the spectacular images. The MPIA contributions look at star formation hidden by dust. They see how gas and dust become enormous star clusters in the galactic centres and massive star clusters form between the spiral arms.

Hello world!
I'm an application support expert based in France. In darker times I was a user (PhD in studying ), then a developer (OpenMP & OpenACC versions of a previously pure MPI app), then I even focused on other stuff (like PhD or in higher ed) and now I work among & . I'm interested in , , . I maintain Wi4MPI.
