Young Binary Stars Appear to Form Through Disk Fragmentation, Not Chaotic Migration
Key Takeaways
- A preprint examined 51 infant binary systems to test how close stellar pairs form.
- Researchers used ALMA observations of gas outflows as a proxy for system angular momentum.
- The observed alignments strongly favored disk fragmentation over turbulent fragmentation followed by inward migration.
