What is different about the Cloverleaf is the huge quantity of dense gas along with very powerful infrared radiation from the star formation.

Beta Pictoris entered the limelight over 20 years ago when NASA's Infrared Astronomical Satellite detected excess infrared radiation from the star.

Infrared radiation passes through interstellar dust much more easily than visible light, so by looking at the infrared light from a galaxy we can learn about the new stars forming within the clouds of dust Infrared radiation passes through interstellar dust much more easily than visible light, so by looking at the infrared light from a galaxy we can learn about the new stars forming within the clouds of dust infrared light from a galaxy we can learn about the new stars forming within the clouds of dust and gas.

The lack of infrared glow from the galaxy across a broad range of wavelengths, however, suggests that there's very little dust there to absorb and then re-radiate the stars» radiation, the team notes.

By observing the combined infrared radiation of star and planet with Spitzer and then subtracting the radiation recorded from the star alone when it hid the planet, Deming and Charbonneau had detected the heat of the planet itself.

In the past 2 decades, astronomers have detected infrared radiation from debris disks around several stars.

They combined observations in the visible and the near infrared from the Hubble Space Telescope with radio observations from the Very Large Array and the Submillimeter Array to explore the effect of the turbulence, stellar radiation, and magnetic field on massive star formation in the galaxy's nuclear ring.

Marois and his team used ground - based infrared detection to seek out exoplanets around nearby, young, massive stars — those whose planets would have wide orbits and emit significant amounts of radiation as they cool from their relatively recent births millions of years ago.

In 1983, an orbiting satellite called IRAS discovered far more infrared radiation — which has waves longer than red light — coming from the Vega than expected for small interstellar dust grains found around young, early - type stars (Harvey et al, 1984).

Webb's giant sunshield will protect it from stray heat and light, while its large mirror enables it to effectively capture infrared light, bringing us the clearest picture ever of space objects that emit this invisible radiation beyond the red end of the visible spectrum — early galaxies, infant stars, clouds of gas and dust, and much more.

61 Virginis is a yellow - orange main sequence dwarf of spectral and luminosity type G5 - 6 V, with about 92 to 96 percent of Sol's mass (95 percent using the isochrone mass estimate of Valenti and Fischer, 2005; and NASA Star and Exoplanet Database, based on David F. Gray, 1992), 94 to 98 percent of its diameter (96 percent for Valenti and Fischer, 2005; Johnson and Wright, 1983, page 677; and NASA Star and Exoplanet Database, derived from the exponential formula of Kenneth R. Lang, 1980), and around 78 percent of its visual luminosity and nearly 81 percent of its theoretical bolometric luminosity, with infrared radiation (Sousa et al, 2008; Valenti and Fischer, 2005; NASA Star and Exoplanet Database, based on Kenneth R. Lang, 1980).

A starburst galaxy has an exceptionally high rate of star birth, first identified by its excess of infrared radiation from warm dust.

The data also will be studied for evidence of a faint, uniform infrared background, the residual radiation from the first stars and galaxies formed following the Big Bang.
