Study finds early universe stars may have formed in less dense, "fluffy" molecular clouds.
Researchers from Kyushu University and Osaka Metropolitan University have discovered that in the early universe, some stars may have formed in "fluffy" molecular clouds.
Observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy near the Milky Way, showed that 60% of molecular clouds had a filamentary structure, while 40% were "fluffy."
The study, published in The Astrophysical Journal, suggests that the environment, including the presence of heavy elements, is crucial for maintaining the filamentary structure, which may influence the formation of planetary systems.
