Sidewinding young stellar jets spied by Gemini South: Crystal-clear images of meandering bipolar stellar jets from young stars captured with adaptive optics
Sinuous stellar jets meander lazily across a field of stars in new images captured from Chile by the international Gemini Observatory, a Program of NSF’s NOIRLab. The gently curving stellar jets are the outflow from young stars, and astronomers suspect their sidewinding appearances are caused by the gravitational attraction of companion stars. These crystal-clear observations […]
