Massive quasars can be powered by direct collapse black holes say scientists
... a fit with many other phenomena associated with black holes that are routinely observed by astrophysicists, such as star formation rates, galaxy density profiles, and thermal and ionisation rates in gasses. "This was largely unexpected," said...

Rare, massive, starburst galaxies captured in detail by Hubble
... ago. This frenzied activity has a knock-on effect as star formation creates lots of dust that enshrouds the host galaxies. While... very dusty and massive, and they're undergoing bursts of star formation," Lowenthal said. "But they've been very hard to...

Star formation history of the Universe revealed
... either galactic mergers or accretion from hidden streams of gas are responsible for replenishing material needed for star formation. These turbulent reservoirs of diffuse gas identified by the team, may also be the same stuff that makes...

Magnetic fields around protostar gives a new twist on star formation
... the fundamental nature of this process, it still remains poorly understood. It is thought that magnetism plays a key role in star formation from regulating disk accretion, outflows to wind launching, but to what degree these mechanisms play a part...

First detected hot corino in Orion sheds light on low-mass star formation processes
... rotating disk have been revealed. Given its association with all the ingredients of the Sun-like star formation recipe, the authors note that HH212 stands out as being the perfect target for investigating the...
