The interaction between the jet of a young star and its environment, reconstructed in unprecedented detail thanks to the ALMA telescope

A team from the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) has obtained images with unprecedented detail that show “slices” of the jet of a young star, revealing its internal structure and how it interacts with the environment. The discovery, published in Nature Astronomy, confirms for the first time a theoretical model proposed three decades ago about the dynamics of stellar jets.
