A group of Spanish astrophysicists found that the formation of stars being reduced due to the rapid warming between the galaxies.
Said yesterday the University of Valencia (UV, northeast of Spain), around the active galaxy there is a gas which when cooled, falls to the "inside" of the Galaxy causing changes such as the formation of new stars.
In this way, points out the UV in a release, when the heating of the Galaxy environment occurs quickly, the fall of this material is reduced and creates fewer stars.
The researchers, led by Manel Perucho, have made 800,000 hours of calculation with the Mare Nostrum computer so this discovery linked to warming of the Galactic environment.
Relativistic simulations carried out from the Department of astronomy and Astrophysics at the UV have revealed that the Intergalactic Medium heating mechanisms u000athey are "more efficient and faster than you thought so far," according to Perucho.
The findings of this study, carried out in the framework of the Real and Virtual Galaxies research project and financed by the Spanish Ministry of science and innovation, have been published in the magazine "The Astrophysical Journal".
