Study of Prof. Quentin Parker and International Astrophysicists published as cover study on Nature Astronomy

Professor Quentin Parker, Director of LSR, and several members of Laboratory for Space Research (LSR), are among an international team of astrophysicists led by Space Telescope Science Institute and Macquarie University, who recently discovered that up to three unseen stellar companions that may have shaped the planetary nebula’s layers of gas and dust. The team’s paper, entitled ‘The messy death of a multiple star system and the resulting planetary nebula as observed by JWST’, has made cover in Nature Astronomy Volume 6 Issue 12, December 2022.
