Large-scale stellar jet formation elucidated




Using a patented experimental device and supercomputer simulations, researchers have managed to explain the formation of jets emitted by young stars. In perfect agreement with astrophysical observations, the model, which involves the interstellar magnetic field, was developed by an international collaboration1 led by French teams at the Laboratoire pour l'Utilisation des Lasers Intenses (LULI, CNRS/École Polytechnique/UPMC/CEA), the Laboratoire d'Etudes du Rayonnement et de la Matière en Astrophysique et atmosphères (LERMA, Observatoire de Paris/CNRS/UPMC/Université de Cergy-Pontoise/ENS Paris) and the Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Intenses (LNCMI, CNRS). Their work is published in the 17 October 2014 issue of the journal Science.
