Astronomers map a magnetic “skeleton” funneling gas into a stellar nursery

MIT Research General | Score: 0.15 | neutral | Published: 10:20 Jun 22, 2026 (Eastern)

Researchers at the MIT Haystack Observatory, using data from the SOFIA Legacy Program, have mapped the magnetic field structure of the DR21 stellar nursery. Their study, published in The Astrophysical Journal, suggests that magnetic fields function as a guiding framework that channels interstellar gas toward the dense central ridge, facilitating the formation of massive stars. By comparing gravitational and magnetic data, the team demonstrated that gas accretion is magnetically directed and accounts for the ridge's mass assembly within roughly one million years. The study also clarifies that observed gas flows appear slower than predicted because their movement occurs primarily in the plane of the sky rather than along the line of sight.
