An international astronomer team has discovered a massive cloud of gas and dust in a small region of our Akashganga Galaxy. The giant molecular cloud (GMC) is about 60 60 parsic – or 200 light years – long.
In a new research published in the Astro Physical Journal, researchers using the US National Science Foundation Green Bank Telescope (NSFGBT) have peeked into a molecular cloud known as M 4.7-0.8, called Mid-Point Cloud. His observations have revealed a dynamic region that has been actively stirred, including potential locations for the formation of a new star.
“One of the major discoveries of this article was GMC itself. No one had this cloud unless we see this location of the sky and find dense gas. Through the size, massive and density measurement, we confirmed that it was a large molecular cloud,” Shares Natalie Fields, AS Fields, AS Fields. (NSFNRA).
“These dust lane are like gases and hidden rivers of dust that are carrying materials in the center of our galaxy,” Bitterfield explained. “The mid -point cloud is a place where the material from the galaxy’s disk is turning into a more extreme environment of the galaxy center and provides a unique opportunity to study the initial gas conditions before it is assembled at the center of our galaxy.”
NSFGBT observations focused on molecules like Ammonia (NH3) and Seynobotadine (HC5N), which are dense gas tractors. In addition to displaying the first unknown Midpoint Cloud in the Galaxy’s Internal Bind Dust Lane, the data also showed:
- A new moss: The team discovered an unknown “masher”, a natural source of acute microwave radiation associated with ammonia gas. This is often a sign of the formation of the active star.
- Possible stars’ births: The cloud contains compact clips of gas and dust that appear on the way to create new stars. One of these flags, dumb knot, can be a frightened (free floating vapor gas global).
- Evidence of stubborn opinions: The team found a shell -shaped structure inside the cloud, which was potentially produced by the stars that died.
- The turmoil gas: The gas inside the cloud is extremely turmoil, which is seen in the central areas of the galaxy. This turmoil may be due to the arrival of the material as well as the arrival of the material or the collision with other clouds.
“The formation of a star in the galaxy bars is a little puzzle,” said Larry Morgan, a scientist at the NSF Green Bank Observatory (NSFGBO).
The team’s results show that the Midpoint Cloud is an important link in the flow of material from Akashinganga’s disc to its center. By studying the region, astronomers can find out how galaxies develop their main structure and create new stars in the extreme environment.
