While monitoring NGC 6334 I, a well-studied protostar cluster in the Cat's Paw Nebula, researchers discovered a millimeter outburst from a massive protostar with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, or ALMA.

Key Points: 
  • While monitoring NGC 6334 I, a well-studied protostar cluster in the Cat's Paw Nebula, researchers discovered a millimeter outburst from a massive protostar with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, or ALMA.
  • "This event now exceeds all other accretion outbursts in massive protostars by a factor of about three in both energy output and duration."
  • These observations show the importance of continuous access to the infrared observations to enable time-domain studies of the important accretion stage of massive star formation.
  • Moreover, the new observations by SOFIA provide strong evidence of episodic accretion in young massive stars.

This event has caused a ripple affect across the globe; impacting power grids, destroying electrical infrastructure and causing havoc to electronic communications.

Key Points: 
  • This event has caused a ripple affect across the globe; impacting power grids, destroying electrical infrastructure and causing havoc to electronic communications.
  • "I study solar flares and I spent my career modeling them," Reep said.
  • "We generally think of flares in terms of their size or their brightness, but we often ignore the part about their duration."
  • For Reep and others in his field, modeling solar flares involves computationally intensive models that cannot be run in real time.
