Sentences with phrase «infalling material»

«ALMA's spatial resolution improves much more in the near future», Sakai says, «Then much detail of the infalling material toward the protostar can be revealed, and it helps us answer to the mystery behind the diversity in star formation.»

A portion of this infalling material, however, never makes it onto the surface of the star.

«We are learning the conditions of the infalling material and whether this plays a role in the growth of the supermassive black hole,» Ghez says.

Some of the infalling material is pushed away in a stellar wind much like the solar wind that fills our solar system.

To limit inherent systematic uncertainties, Ghez's group accounted for overlapping light sources when one star passes in front of another or near the black hole itself, where infalling material emits radiation.

Infalling material smashes into the star, creating a shock wave and heating the accreting gas to temperatures greater than 5 million degrees Fahrenheit.

Third, when a black hole consumes gas and dust, it heats the infalling material so much that it glows brightly at all wavelengths.

The researchers modeled the resulting accretion disc — an elliptical disc of stellar debris swirling around the black hole — along with its probable speed, radius, and rate of infall, or speed at which material falls onto the black hole.

But according to some models, larger magnetic fields, comparable to that estimated in the new study, may act in the opposite fashion, suppressing the infall of material and potentially placing a black hole on a starvation diet, Reynolds says.

We have not yet been able to unambiguously detect the collapse of a molecular cloud core or the infall of circumstellar material onto an embryonic star.

Because meteorites are so similar to the material inside Earth, many researchers believe that the Earth formed from infalling meteoroids.
