Outflows from Baby Star Affect Nearby Star Formation

Astronomers revealed fast gas outflows from a baby star strongly colliding with nearby dense gas where a group of baby stars are being born. The result suggests that the outflow collision shakes the cradle of the baby stars, and has a significant impact on the ongoing star formation process.  This study provides insight into the star formation process within cluster regions where baby stars are born simultaneously in a complex and crowded environment.
