Astronomers discovered new star forming region in the Milky Way.
Astronomers discovered new star forming region in the Milky Way. One of the news in 'Science' released in May 2010, announces the same.
Astronomers have discovered a large region in the Milky Way which was previously unknown where massive stars are being formed. This is a new information providing new dimension to the study of our own galaxy. It will help a lot in studying the composition of our galaxy.
The star forming region is called HII region. Here, hydrogen ions are ionised by the intense radiation of massive & young stars.
HII region is invisible from the visible light detection by the Milky Way's gas & dust. The HII region was found using infrared& radio telescopes & analysing the results in the NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope & the National Science Foundation Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope. NSF's giant Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) was used for this purpose. It is extremely radio sensitive telescope placed in West Virginia. Thus specific radio frequencies emmited by electrons can be detected as they recombine with protons to form hydrogen. This helped the astronomers to determine the specific region of HII. HII is found in the galaxy's central bar & spiral arms.
