Observations of High-Mass Star Seeds Defy Models
Overview of the press release
Image : An artist’s view on the internal structure of an infrared dark cloud revealed by ALMA. The raw material for star formation consists of gas and dust. Here, the densest regions are represented in white and lower densities in blue-ish colors. Some protostars just formed eject gas in outflows, represented by the pink color.
