To solve these mysteries, it is essential to make detailed observations of various stars of different
masses during formation.
Not exact matches
This new finding is important because it's one of the first exoplanets in this
mass range that lies beyond the «snow line» — the distance
during formation of a planetary system beyond which ice can form from water, ammonia, and methane.
During this time, high -
mass stars produce powerful «winds» (streams of energetic particles) that can trigger or halt star
formation in their surroundings.
In this paper, we use the Spitzer c2d ice survey, complimented with data sets on ices in cloud cores and high -
mass protostars, to determine standard ice abundances and to present a coherent picture of the evolution of ices
during low - and high -
mass star
formation.
The Heterodyne Instrument for the Far - Infrared (HIFI) on the Herschel Space Observatory observed three deeply embedded protostars in the low -
mass star - for... ▽ More «Water In Star - forming regions with Herschel» (WISH) is a key programme dedicated to studying the role of water and related species
during the star -
formation process and constraining the physical and chemical properties of young stellar objects.
