Their observations confirm the theory that, at the conclusion of the formation process, a massive star further contracts until it has reached a stable equilibrium. The results are published as a Letter in Astronomy & Astrophysics.
For many years it has been a challenge to obtain a clear spectrum of a massive star still in…
