Mass segregation of embedded clusters in the Milky Way TEXT SIZE: A A A
Over time, clusters of stars exhibit motions and dynamical behavior. Mass segregation is one such behavior, where more massive stars sink towards the center of the cluster. This article studies a number of star clusters in the Milky Way and finds that they show this type of mass segregation, helping astronomers better confirm their theories.
