Young stellar objects (YSOs) are generally stars in the early stages of their evolution. Especially for pre-born stars and already stable stars. These stars are usually discovered within dense molecular clusters containing many molecular gases and interstellar particles.
Recently, a team of international astronomers from the United States, led by astronomers from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, used the James Webb Space Telescope to examine populations of young stellar objects in the open cluster NGC 346, which lies about 202,000 light-years from Earth. The cluster and its source… The brightest stars are in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. Astronomers say that the open cluster NGC 346 has a complex history of star formation. It's filled with many different demographic groups. Since the evolution of massive stars to young, low-mass stellar objects
Astronomers identified 833 objects in NGC 346 that showed a significant increase in mid-infrared radiation. These objects often coexist in areas where dust and gas are common. This suggests that some young stellar objects may exist. This is after astronomers distributed the spectral energy correctly. It was determined that 23 objects were young stellar objects. Their sizes are different. Most of them have a mass of 0.95-4.15 times the mass of the Sun.
