The system has provided a rich source of information on planet formation and evolution in a young solar system. Researchers used a variety of tools to compile radial velocity and transit timing ...

The James Webb Telescope measured a potential moon-forming disk encircling an exoplanet, NASA recently announced, inviting researchers to observe and study moon formation as it happens, while ...

A team of researchers led by astronomers at UCI has obtained highly precise information about six confirmed exoplanets orbiting TOI-1136, a dwarf star about 270 light years from Earth. A recently ...

About 4. 6 billion years ago, the Solar System formed from a cloud of dust and gas collapsing in on itself due to gravity.

"The scope of subjects that make up this volume primarily originates from a topical workshop on "Young Star Systems" that took place in April 2016 as part of the Sant Cugat Forum on Astrophysics."- ...

The newborn planetary system appears to be emerging 1,300 light-years away around a baby star known as HOPS-315. Planet-forming materials were first identified using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.

A research team led by University of Minnesota School of Physics and Astronomy Professor Yong-Zhong Qian uses new models and evidence from meteorites to show that a low-mass supernova triggered the ...

Our solar system is a smashing success. A new study suggests that from its earliest period—even before the last of its ...
