How do astrophysicists research and model planet formation in protoplanetary discs? Learn how to simulate a protoplanetary disc using DustPy: software commonly used in state-of-the-art research!
The first set of high-resolution ALMA observations of exoKuiper belts has been released, and they reveal an unprecedented wealth of structure.
Astronomers have observed the abundance of heavy water (D2O) in the V883 Ori disc, providing a crucial insight into the history of water – with some implications for Earth’s water and maybe more…
In today’s post, guest author Matheus Bernini Peron explains how UV radiation from neighboring stars can hamper giant planet formation.
Turns out there’s more than one way to “plate” a planet!
Planets should form aligned with their host protoplanetary discs. So why does this star have a planet and disc that aren’t at all in line?
