The first direct measurement of the orbit of a system formed by two massive stars in formation is achieved 2026-09-07

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) has participated in an international study that has succeeded for the first time in directly measuring the orbital motion of IRAS 07299-1651, a massive protobinary system. The results suggest that the two stars formed separately and that, subsequently, a close gravitational encounter caused them to become bound together […]
