University of Michigan astronomer Sally Oey studied a star-forming area in host galaxy, NGC 2366, which is a typical dwarf irregular galaxy. López-SánchezIf you look at the large galaxies filled with many stars, its easy to presume they are star factories, churning out dazzling balls of gas. Its the less evolved dwarf galaxies dwarf galaxies have bigger regions of star factories, with higher rates of star formation.Recent findings by scientists from the University of Michigan shed light on this phenomenon: Dwarf galaxies experience a delay of about 10 million years before they expel the gas crowding their area. This hold-up permits star-forming areas in these galaxies to keep their gas and dust longer, cultivating the formation and development of more stars.Dwarf Galaxies: Cradles of Star FormationIn these relatively pristine dwarf galaxies, enormous stars– stars about 20 to 200 times the mass of our sun– collapse into black holes rather of taking off as supernovae. Substantial, round, and brimming with stars, these galaxies have actually already turned all of their gas into stars.
