In the latest of our #UndergradResearch series, discover William Balmer’s research on how direct imaging can show us more about planet formation!
The discovery of table salt and super-heated water in two massive protostellar disks hints at a new type of “hot-disk” chemistry.
In the right conditions, protoplanetary disks might retain evidence of past encounters and can tell us more about the life story of the stellar environment they reside in.
What does a disk around a binary star look like? One possibility, recently observed around a young star for the first time, is that it is flipped on its side—its rotation is perpendicular to the orbit of the binary system!
Are planets just as likely to form around binary stars as they are around single stars? Today’s authors are asking this very question.
