Fast molecular outflow from a dusty star-forming galaxy in the early Universe

Béthermin, M.; Stark, A. A.; Vieira, J. D. +20 more

Galaxies grow inefficiently, with only a small percentage of the available gas converted into stars each free-fall time. Feedback processes, such as outflowing winds driven by radiation pressure, supernovae, or supermassive black hole accretion, can act to halt star formation if they heat or expel the gas supply. We report a molecular outflow laun…

Magnetic seismology of interstellar gas clouds: Unveiling a hidden dimension

Tassis, Konstantinos; Tritsis, Aris

Stars and planets are formed inside dense interstellar molecular clouds by processes imprinted on the three-dimensional (3D) morphology of the clouds. Determining the 3D structure of interstellar clouds remains challenging because of projection effects and difficulties measuring the extent of the clouds along the line of sight. We report the detec…
