Astronomer team opened a new young star in our galaxy, 30 times more massive than the sun. The object is located about 11,000 light years from the ground.
"A middle star, similar to our Sun formed for several million years, while massive stars are formed much faster for about 100,000 years , "says John Isley's researcher from the University of Cambridge in the UK. But also their" fuel "these large luminaries are burned too quickly, therefore the duration of their life is small."
Star, called G11.92-0.61 mm1 , or simply mm1, is located in a very cold region with a high density of matter, which is ideal for the formation of similar objects.
for monitoring MM1 Isle and his team applied Submillimetre Array telescopes (SMA) in Hawaii and Very Large Array (VLA) in New Mexico. These two devices use longer waves than most other telescopes, which allows them to see through dense clouds surrounding the star.
Observation of the growth of the super-massive luminary will help scientists better understand the processes of formation of stars in the universe.
