Can binary stars have circumbinary disks that orbits them in a perpendicular plane? Today’s authors took a closer look at this setup and the complex exchange of material between stars and circumbinary disk.
How to look into the interiors of asteroids? Tidal interactions during close encounters with Earth might just work!
Where is the missing carbon monoxide in protoplanetary disks? Today’s paper suggests that it might have something to do with turbulent mixing in disks as well as the physics of condensation.
Some extrasolar debris belts are not just eccentric but also surprisingly narrow. What processes can influence the width of debris belts?
Is it possible to detect gravitational instability in a protoplanetary disk that is viewed edge-on? Today’s authors investigate the young disk around L1527 IRS.
