"In a remarkable discovery, astronomers have found a disc around a young star in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a galaxy neighboring ours. It’s the first time such a disc, identical to those forming planets in our own Milky Way, has ever been found outside our galaxy. The new observations reveal a massive young star, growing and accreting matter from its surroundings and forming a rotating disc. The detection was made using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, in which the European Southern Observatory (ESO) is a partner."
Dr. ANNA MCLEOD is an associate professor, at the CENTRE FOR EXTRAGALACTIC ASTRONOMY, DURHAM UNIVERSITY.
Dr. Mcleod’s main research interest is feedback from massive stars, and the key question she is trying to answer is: how exactly do massive stars influence their environment? Dr. McLeod uses data from so-called integral field spectrographs like MUSE or KMOS on the Very Large Telescope in Chile for her work.
