A study of the nursery of stars in the great molecular cloud W49A
An article published in “The Astronomical Journal” reports the study of a nursery of stars in the great molecular cloud cataloged as W49A. A team of astronomers led by Professor Christopher De Pree of Agnes Scott College compared new observations conducted with the VLA (Very Large Array) at infrareds and radio waves of W49A’s central area with observations conducted with the same radio telescope between 1994 and 1995. The result is the identification of new activities with supersonic gas movements in three regions and a high-speed jet in one region.
