Sentences with phrase «less star formation»

Not exact matches

By removing so much gas from near the core, the bubbles make star formation there less likely, the team say.

For many aspects of the simulation, researchers can start their calculations at a fundamental, or ab initio, level with no need for preconceived input data, but processes that are less understood — such as star formation and the growth of supermassive black holes — need to be informed by observation and by making assumptions that can simplify the deluge of calculations.

Researchers then used computer software to unwarp SPD.81's smudge and, for the first time for such a distant galaxy, discern small areas of intense star formation, some less than 150 light - years across.

After a short timescale of less than 1 billion years the star formation has been quenched by powerful gas outflows.»

Two teams of astronomers led by researchers at the University of Cambridge have looked back nearly 13 billion years, when the Universe was less than 10 percent its present age, to determine how quasars — extremely luminous objects powered by supermassive black holes with the mass of a billion suns — regulate the formation of stars and the build - up of the most massive galaxies.

Natal kicks are thought to occur during the formation of neutron stars, which are created from the death of less massive stars than the progenitors of LIGO's sources.

During the 1980s and 1990s, Spitzer's less sophisticated predecessors put astronomers on the trail of a more holistic model of star formation.

«When we analyzed the Keck data, we found the emitting region of SDSS1133 is less than 40 light - years across, and that the center of Markarian 177 shows evidence of intense star formation and other features indicating a recent disturbance that matched what we expected for a recoiling black hole,» said Chao - Ling Hung, a UH Manoa graduate student performing the analysis of the Keck Observatory imaging in the study.

«Failed - Jupiter planets, like OGLE -2005-BLG-169Lb, are predicted to be more common than Jupiters, especially around stars less massive than the sun, according to the preferred theory of planet formation.

Each of these star clusters represents the formation of up to about a million stars, a process that takes less than 100,000 years.

This portion of the spectrum, which is more energetic than most radio waves yet less energetic than visible and infrared light, holds the key to understanding a great variety of fundamental processes, including planet and star formation, and the formation and evolution of galaxies and galaxy clusters in the early Universe.

The formation of short gamma - ray bursts lasting less than two seconds from a meger between two neutron stars to create a black hole has been modelled with a supercomputer (more).

«It is forming stars intensely now, so it needs the extra strong kick of two winds to slow down that star formation and evolve into a less active galaxy.»
