"The speed at which this doomed stellar system is lurching wildly, likely due to the extreme brightness, is a frantic sign of ...
During this clumping together, gaps open up in the protoplanetary disk, which we see as rings around the star. The Atacama ...
Stellar migration may greatly increase the number of habitable planets in the Milky Way. Future ESA missions will test these predictions with detailed exoplanet observations. What can the Galactic Hab ...
The James Webb Space Telescope caught the birth of an enormous star with particle beams cutting across a stretch of ...
As atmospheric observations of exoplanets become increasingly precise, it is more important than ever to correctly account ...
Disk galaxies, like our own Milky Way galaxy, commonly consist of both a thick and thin disk of stars—each with different features, including stellar population and movement. Three major theoretical ...
Comet 3I/ATLAS is the third ISO ever detected. It was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) ...
Astronomers taken on the role of cosmic archeologists, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to excavate over 100 disk galaxies from up to 11 billion years ago. Just like artifacts excavated ...
Laura holds a Master's in Experimental Neuroscience and a Bachelor's in Biology from Imperial College London. Her areas of expertise include health, medicine, psychology, and neuroscience. For several ...
The figures illustrate the revealed sequential disk formation in this study: thick disk only galaxies dominate the early epochs (bottom panel), while galaxies exhibiting both thin and thick disks ...
As atmospheric observations of exoplanets become increasingly precise, it is more important than ever to correctly account for the effect of starspots on host stars. An ideal opportunity to study ...
"To see thin stellar disks already in place 8 billion years ago, or even earlier, was surprising." Astronomers taken on the role of cosmic archeologists, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to ...
