Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers obtained high-contrast coronagraphic images of the protoplanetary ...

This new NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope Picture of the Month presents HH 30 in unprecedented detail. This target is an edge-on protoplanetary disk that is surrounded by jets and a disk wind, ...

A protoplanetary disk is a disk of dense gas and dust, orbiting a newly formed star. It is assumed that planets are born by the gradual accumulation of material in such a structure, therefore ...

Using new observations with the ALMA telescope array in Chile, researchers have compiled the most precise map of three regions in the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone to date, providing valuable ...

When astronomers pointed the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array at young star systems and saw concentric rings of dust stacked like cosmic vinyl grooves, the natural reading was ...

Astronomers have discovered that the flattened clouds of gas and dust around stars — nurseries that give birth to planets — are generally smaller than previously thought. Some are so small, in fact, ...

Astronomers have been searching the skies using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimter Array (ALMA) to study orbital geometries and protoplanetary disks that surround binary stars. The team found ...
