Clusters of protostars were as bright as 100 million suns

Canadian astronomers, Alexander Desouza and Shantanu Basu of the University of Western Ontario, published the results of an interesting work that concerns the evolution of the Universe. According to scientists , the first stars in our Universe were formed already several hundred million years after the Big Bang.

Scientists modeled the development of the early Universe, with an analysis of the dynamics of formation and luminosity of stars, which are formed as a result of the phenomenon of the gravitational collapse of gas protodisks. Protostars also shone very brightly, while such objects were located relatively close to each other.

The formation took place in groups of 10-20 protostars. And such a group shone very brightly, according to scientists, the brightness of the group of protostars could exceed the brightness of the Sun hundreds of millions of times, and possibly billions. For a number of reasons, the first stars existed for a very short time, but during their existence such stars could produce large quantities of such elements as oxygen and carbon.

According to Canadians, the current instruments of astronomers, including Hubble, are unable to fix protostars, the light from which has been coming to us for more than 13 billion years. But the next-generation orbital telescope, James Webb , will be fully capable of detecting such objects. If this really happens, then science will receive a large amount of material to help clarify the evolution of the Universe.
