High-Speed Gas Clouds Fuel Star Formation in Depleted Galaxies
How do galaxies like ours continue producing stars long after they should have used up their star-forming gas. Somehow, an external gas source must find its way into the galaxy. New research has found evidence of gas clouds that found their way into a spiral galaxy, likely fueling continued star formation.
The spiral galaxies that we see in the Universe and are similar to our Milky Way exhibit a particular structure: a thick disk of ancient stars and an embedded thin disk, where younger stars reside.
