NASA Web explores the effect of strong magnetic fields on the composition of the stars

Follow -up research on Image 2023 The penal custody in the heart of the Milky Way galaxy, which was captured by the NASA James Web Telescope, revealed the ejaculation of the protestara that still constitutes and affects the influence of the strong magnetic fields on the gas between the stars and the life cycle of stars.

“There was a big question in the central molecular area in our galaxy, if there was a lot of thick gas and cosmic dust here, and we know that the stars are formed in such clouds, so why are a few stars born here?” Astronomical physicist John Pal from Colorado Bulder, one of the main investigators, said, one of the main investigators. “Now, for the first time, we see directly that strong magnetic fields may play an important role in suppressing the formation of stars, even in small scales.”

A detailed study of the stars in this crowded dusty area was limited, but the advanced Webb tools near infrared guess allowed astronomers to see clouds to study young stars as it had not happened before.

“The extreme environment of the galaxy center is a great place to put the theories of stars formation on the test, and the potential of the space telescope in James Web in NASA provides the opportunity to build on the previous important notes of earthly telescopes such as Pain and Mercat“Another key investigator in the research, the largest bachelor’s at the University of Virginia and Rhodes Researcher 2025 said.”

Bally and Crowe led a paper published in the astronomical magazine.

In the brightest group of Sagittarius C, the researchers confirmed the initial discovery of a large millimeter group (Alma) in which two huge stars are formed. Along with infrared data from NASA and SOFIA retired (Stersosphere Observatory for Infrared Astronomy), as well as Hershel Satisfaction Observatory, used WeBB to determine that both huge protestars are already more than 20 times the mass of the sun. Webb has also revealed the bright external flows that each protocrisar works.

The most challenging is to find a low -mass protestrost, and it is still shrouded in cosmic dust. The researchers compared Webb data with previous Alma notes to select five potential candidates from Protostar.

The team also identified 88 features that seem to be dyed hydrogen gas, as the substances that are detonated in aircraft from young stars affect the surrounding gas cloud. The analysis of these features has the discovery of a new cloud that forms the stars, distinct from the main arc cloud C, as it hosts at least the protestarran working on its own planes.

“In the external flows of the formation of stars in the Sagittarius C in the previous notes, but this is the first time we have been able to confirm in the light of infrared. It is extremely exciting to see, because there is still a lot that we do not know about the formation of stars, especially in the central molecular region, which is very important for how the universe works.”

Web 2023 photos From the arc showed dozens of distinctive threads in the area of hot hydrogen plasma surrounding the main stars cloud. A new analysis from Bali and his team led them to assume that the threads are formed by the magnetic fields, which were also observed in the past by the terrestrial notes of Alma and microbes (previously known as the Caru Carros Telescope).

“The movement of gas that revolves in the extremist tidal forces in the super black hole in the Milky Way, the Sagittarius A*can extend and amplify the surrounding magnetic fields. These fields, in turn, form plasma in the bow C,” said Bali.

Researchers believe that the magnetic forces in the center of the galaxy may be strong enough to prevent plasma from spreading, rather than limiting them to the concentrated threads seen in the image of the web. These powerful magnetic fields may also resist the gravity that usually causes thick clouds of gas and dust in collapse and formulating stars, explaining the rate of formation of the Saghiri stars C.

“This is an exciting field for research in the future, as the influence of strong magnetic fields, in the midst of our galaxy or other galaxies, on the stellar environment has not been completely considered,” said Crowe.

The James Web Telescope is the world’s leading space science observatory. Webb solves puzzles in our solar system, and looks beyond far from other stars, and investigating mysterious structures and the origins of our world and our place in them. WeBB is an international program led by NASA with its partners, the European Space Agency (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency).
