The stars’ sneeze is actually an explosion. This is an important part of the development of stars and helps scientists in giving new information about that star, such as perhaps that star will also be surrounded by planets sometime in the future.
This ‘sneeze’ of stars has been detected by a team of scientists from Kyushu University in Japan. They used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to study the disk of gas and dust.
It was discovered that a disk surrounds baby stars and also helps in the formation of planets in the future. This research has been published in The Astrophysical Journal.
when are stars born
According to the report, when dense and cold patches of material present in the universe accumulate in the clouds of gases and dust present there, mass starts accumulating in the clusters formed from them. In this process, a protostar surrounded by a disk is gradually born. Protostars or baby stars continue to gain mass. This happens until there is too much pressure on their core. This is how a star or sun is formed.
However, to detect the sneezes of baby stars i.e. the explosions occurring in them, researchers focused on MC 27. It is a nursery of stars located about 450 light years away from Earth. The researchers feel that the information they have gathered will help the scientific community better understand the processes occurring during the formation of stars.
