Using the ALMA observatory in Chile, a group of astronomers led by MPIA’s Henrik Beuther has made the most detailed observation yet of the way that a giant gas cloud fragments into dense cores, which then act as the birthplaces of stars. The astronomers found that the mechanisms for fragmentation are fairly straightforward, resulting from the combination of the cloud’s pressure and gravity. More complex features, such as magnetic lines or turbulence, play a smaller role than previously thought.

Vernetzte Gasströme veranschaulichen, wie sich sternbildendes Gas in Galaxien ansammelt
Steve Longmore, Mitautor des Artikels, der an der Liverpool John Moores University

The molecular gas in galaxies is organised into a hierarchy of structures. The molecular material in giant molecular gas clouds travels along intricate networks of filamentary gas lanes towards the congested centres of gas and dust where it is compressed into stars and planets, much like the millions of people commuting to cities for work around the world. To better understand this process, a team of astronomers led by Jonathan Henshaw at Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) have measured the motion of gas flowing from galaxy scales down to the scales of the gas clumps within which individual stars form. Their results show that the gas flowing through each scale is dynamically interconnected: while star and planet formation occurs on the smallest scales, this process is controlled by a cascade of matter flows that begin on galactic scales.

Jana Wäldchen vom Max-Planck-Institut für Biogeochemie über die britische Naturschutzbiologin Georgina Mace. Die gebürtige Londonerin erforschte mehr als 35 Jahre lang die Ursachen und Folgen des Artenschwunds. Einer ihrer Forschungsschwerpunkte lag dabei auf den Auswirkungen des Klimawandels auf biologische Vielfalt und Ökosysteme. In ihrer Arbeit konzentrierte sie sich besonders auf Politik und die Entscheidungsfindung bei Schutzmaßnahmen für die Natur.
Nach ihrem Bachelor-Abschluss in Zoologie an der University of Liverpool promovierte

Jana Wäldchen of the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry on the British biodiversity researcher and conservation biologist Georgina Mace (1953- 2020) who overhauled the Red List of threatened species and is a huge inspiration to ecologists worldwide.
Born in London, Mace initially studied zoology at the University of Liverpool before
