The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has successfully observed a site of planet formation by detecting a high concentration of dust grains, a planet-forming material, outside the ...
Planet formation protoplanetary disk science saw a landmark advance at AAS 248, where Richard Teague of MIT presented the ...
Millions of planets could come into being in the most turbulent regions of galaxies, near supermassive black holes. For a ...
Exoplanets have captured the imagination of the public and scientists alike and as the search continues for more, researchers have turned their attention to the evolution of metallicity in the Milky ...
The astro-modified camera used to take this photo lets in the hydrogen alpha light that is normally filtered out. This modification makes the camera more sensitive to the red end of the ...
Researchers have developed a new model to explain the formation of giant planets such as Jupiter, which furnishes deeper insights into the processes of planet formation and could expand our ...
