IC 1396

New study sheds light on IC 1396’s star formation history and structure

(ORDO NEWS) — An international team of astronomers has explored IC 1396, a nearby region of ionized atomic hydrogen. The study of star formation regions is necessary for a better understanding of the processes of star formation and stellar evolution. Observations of such regions could potentially expand the list of known stars, protostars, young stellar objects and clusters, which could then be comprehensively studied at various wavelengths to provide more…
