For the first time, scientists have proven the detection of strontium in outer space. Astronomers managed to detect not only the substance itself, but even to assume its formation process in space. The results of the study were obtained using the VLT telescope. During the confluence of neutron stellar systems, called kilon systems, scientists at the European Observatory discovered the origin of strontium. The data obtained during the study were published on the official website of the European Southern Observatory.
Stellar systems
Around the end of the summer of 2017, scientists managed to fix the process of merging two stellar systems. This is reported by gravitational studies and the values ​​of gamma radiation during observations. The distance of the objects of study is more than 100 million light years, so the remoteness of the object indicates being in a potentially different Galaxy. The phenomenon where the stellar systems merged was in the region of the constellation Hydra.
During the study, flares that were not characteristic of medium stellar systems were recorded. An astronomical phenomenon could occur only in the case of the fusion of neutron stars with similar systems. It is known that kilon systems can appear during the merger of stellar systems with black holes. Such reactions, according to scientists, can give rise to reactions to create gold or uranium. The basic principle in this case is fast neutron capture.
The spectrograph during the research of the telescope showed a rather large range of the received waves. The equipment shows the degree of flash depending on the wavelength. Indicators can be obtained in the range from ultraviolet and infrared radiation. A primary analysis of the spectra identified indicates that there is a sufficient amount of gold, tellurium and platinum in outer space resulting from the outbreak.
However, due to the complexity of the analysis, many substances may actually have a different structure, which distorts the final result of the study. University of Copenhagen Research Group Confirms Space Detection of Strontium. It is known that this chemical element is obtained during the discharge of interstellar plasma.

Neutron star
Thus, the results of the study indicate that when neutron star systems merge, a layer of hot plasma matter forms, which forms substances such as strontium, gold and platinum. Recall that early research on neutron stellar systems proved the four-dimensionality of the Galaxy. However, the exact behaviour of the kilon system has not yet been proven. Scientists are confident that further research will be able to prove the true origin of rare and valuable metals in space.
