How to Build a Really Big Star
Dr. Alana Rivera-Ingraham explains how massive stars form in a study published in April’s issue of The Astrophysical Journal. 鈥淭his observation may lift the veil on the formation of the most massive stars which remains, so far, poorly understood,鈥� says Rivera-Ingraham, who led the study while she was a graduate student at U of T under Peter Martin at CITA. Rivera-Ingraham is now a postdoctoral researcher at the Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Plan茅tologie in Toulouse, France.
