“What we’ve concluded is the stars are the ones that are blowing out the gas, heating it up and stopping the formation of the stars,” said Sell, who began this project during graduate work at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “We’re not ruling out the black hole because it could be doing other things we haven’t noticed. Rather, it’s just not needed. There is enough energy from all the stars to do all this without needing a black hole.”
