A helical–spiral-shaped–magnetic field appears to contain and shape the gas jet coming from the protostar HH 80-81, mirroring structures similar to those observed in much larger jets emanating from supermassive black holes. This is revealed by a new study involving Alice Pasetto, Carlos Carrasco-González and Luis Felipe Rodríguez of the Institute of Radio Astronomy and Astrophysics (IRyA) at UNAM, Campus Morelia.

This week, Morelia hosts 135 radio astronomy experts from institutions in 17 countries around the world, who will discuss the new science that can be performed with the Next Generation Very Large Array (ngVLA), a new generation observatory to be built in the coming years, with the participation of the Institute of Radio Astronomy and Astrophysics (IRyA) at UNAM Campus Morelia.
