How Massive Star Clusters Shape Galaxy Evolution
A team of researchers used the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope together with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to observe almost 9,000 star clusters in four nearby galaxies. They studied younger clusters that were still embedded in their natal gas clouds, and older ones that had dissipated that gas. Their results show that more massive star clusters emerge more quickly from their birth, clearing away gas and filling the galaxy with ult…
NASA's Webb and Hubble show how long newborn star clusters stay hidden
Newborn stars born in the biggest stellar clusters tear themselves out of their birth clouds much faster than those that grow up in small clusters, according to a new study. Using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and James Webb Space Telescope, researchers studied nearly 9,000 examples from four different galaxies: Messier 51, Messier 83, NGC 4449, and NGC 628.Because no one can watch a single cluster evolve over millions of years in space, scienti…
A new study published in the journal Nature Astronomy investigates the formation and evolution of star clusters, revealing how these groups of stars influence the dynamics of galaxies. The research, led by Alex Pedrini of Stockholm University, uses data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Hubble to analyze the interaction between stellar radiation and molecular gas in galaxies. Star clusters and galactic formation Star clusters are fu…

Astronomers using the James Webb NASA/ESA/CSA space telescope and NASA/ESA Hubble space telescope have observed in depth thousands of young clusters of stars in four nearby galaxies, studying clusters at different stages of evolution. Their findings show that larger clusters of stars emerge more rapidly from the clouds in which they were born, [...]
