star-forming

It indicates that the supernova explosion took place in the complicated and dense environment of a star-forming region.

Star-forming regions don't seem to have enough molecular gas to keep up the star-formation rates we observe.

The images show a bustling star-forming region, the remains of a star similar to the sun, and a swirling galaxy lined with stars.

Were the Tarantula Nebula at the distance of the Orion Nebula -- a local star forming region -- it would take up fully half the sky.

The above image in shows the star forming wall lit and eroded by bright young stars, and partly hidden by the dark dust they have created.

NGC 2976 does not look like a typical spiral galaxy. It has a star-forming disk, but no obvious spiral pattern.

Astronomers base that assertion on their discovery of a vast section of a spiral, star-forming arm at the Milky Way's outskirts.

The clouds surrounding the star system Rho Ophiuchus compose one of the closest star forming regions.

Similar epic battles are being waged all over the star-forming Carina Nebula.

Only about 407 light years from Earth, Rho Oph is one of the closest star-forming regions to us.

The two orange dots are the cores of the old galaxies. Pink is hydrogen; blue the star-forming regions.

The image is being billed as the sharpest shot yet of the star-forming region known as NGC 604.

Composed of many overlapping clouds, the sprawling Tarantula Nebula left of center, is by far the LMC's largest star forming region.

Explanation: This tantalizing array of nebulae and stars can be found about 2 degrees south of the famous star-forming Orion Nebula.

Under normal circumstances, the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons help cool down star-forming clouds, allowing them to collapse into stars.

The Herschel space telescope spotted the molecules in a star-forming region in the constellation of Orion.

Above: WISE penetrated curtains of dust that block visible light to capture this hidden star-forming region in the constellation Cepheus.

But the star forming regions seem more concentrated along the drawn-out (right side) spiral arm.

Also known as M8, the nebula is a star-forming region in the constellation Sagittarius.

Near their massive star forming regions, of course, and those regions tend to lie along sweeping blue spiral arms.

The infrared signatures of proto-planetary disks have also been identified in the intense star forming region.

Herschel will study the formation of galaxies and examine how they age. It will also peek at star-forming regions within galaxies.

It is packed with everything an astronomer could ask for, from hot, young star-forming regions to old clusters with red supergiants.

The interstellar cloud of gas and dust is an active star-forming region.

Explanation: It is the largest and most complex star forming region in the entire galactic neighborhood.

The nebula is a massive, star-forming cloud of gas and dust located within the constellation Monoceres, or the Unicorn.

Called the Cone Nebula because of its conical shape in ground-based images, this giant pillar resides in a turbulent star-forming region.

But most of the hydrogen in the Universe isn't in some exciting, star-forming region.

In this infrared mosaic, WISE captures the vast star-forming heart and soul nebulae, located 6, 000 light-years from Earth.

It will also peek at star-forming regions within galaxies.

But M81 left M82 with violent star forming regions and colliding gas clouds so energetic the galaxy glows in X-rays.

Spitzer was launched in 2003 and has significantly advanced our knowledge of star-forming regions, young stars and other solar systems.

The prominent red knot on the right is 30 Doradus, or the Tarantula Nebula, a giant star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

To the right is a star-forming nebula of dust and gas, called S175.

At the same time, new and more specialized radio telescope arrays are being built to peer into the universe's earliest star-forming era.

The center of this image features a star-forming nebula called S175 about 3, 500 light-years away and 35 light-years across.

Explanation: Giant star forming region W5 is over 200 light-years across and about 6, 500 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia.

If confirmed, the study would resolve a long-standing mystery about the star-forming process.

The giant star-forming region is about 1, 000 light-years across.

Our aims are to study the oxygen abundance of the star-forming galaxies , to study the estimating methods and the calibration relations.
