ALMA Detects First-Ever Hydrogen Recombination Lines From Proplyd Disks in Densely Packed Orion Nebula Cluster
A team of astronomers has used archived ALMA observations to identify for the first time the characteristic radio recombination lines associated with shells of ionized gas surrounding Solar System-sized proplyd disks in the Orion Nebula Cluster, at a distance of 1000 light-years from Earth.
Astronomers Discover ‘Space Tornadoes’ Around the Milky Way’s Core
An international team of astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have sharpened our view of the turbulent region surrounding the supermassive black hole at the core of our galaxy by a factor of 100, discovering a surprising new filamentary structure in this mysterious region of space.
Hidden Cosmic Fuel Tank Found in Infant Galaxy Cluster
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), along with complementary data from the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX), have discovered a surprisingly large reservoir of molecular gas in a protocluster of galaxies known as SPT2349-56.
