A stellar nursey in the Orion Nebula promises to reveal early-stage star formation.
A team led by Mark McCaughrean, the Webb interdisciplinary scientist for star formation and senior advisor at the European Space Agency, plans to focus on three phenomena present in Trapezium. and free-floating planets not in orbit around a star.
The last of the trio of studies concerns jet and outflows from young stars, which the consortium officials said is integral to star formation. "Because the Orion Nebula is home to many, many young stars, there are many jets and outflows in the region, both large and small," the statement added."The team will use Webb to measure the fine structures in these outflows and determine their speeds, as well as assess their cumulative feedback on the surrounding star-forming clouds."
