In the left panel, protostars A and B, revealed in blue, indicate the radio waves from the dust around the protostars. Within protostar A, two unsolved protostars are believed to exist. The team found that emissions from sulfur monoxide (SO) molecules trace 3 spiral arms around the 3 protostars forming in the system.
Contrast with simulations led by Tomoaki Matsumoto, a professor at Hosei University utilizing the supercomputers “ATERUI” and “ATERUI II” in the Center for Computational Astrophysics at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) suggest that the three spiral arms are banners feeding product to the 3 protostars.
This mix of observations and simulations has actually exposed, for the very first time, how the banners are developed and contribute to the growth of the protostars at the.

Researchers utilizing ALMA and advanced simulations have actually clarified the formation of multi-star systems, determining and explaining the function of “banners” feeding developing protostars.
New observations and simulations of three spiral arms of gas-feeding product to three protostars forming in a trinary system have clarified the development of multi-star systems.
Many stars with a mass comparable to the Sun type in multi-star systems together with other stars. An understanding of multi-star system formation is essential to a general theory of star formation. Nevertheless, the complexity and absence of high-resolution, high-sensitivity information left astronomers unpredictable about the development situation. In specific, current observations of protostars often reported structures called “banners” of gas streams toward the protostars, however it has actually been unclear how these streamers form.
