Astronomers have found evidence of a process that supports an alternative, more rapid approach to planetary formation, more top down than bottom up. By Katrina Miller When it comes to making a planet, ...

An international team led by Monash University has uncovered evidence of a rare form of exploding star, helping to shed light on one of the most cataclysmic events in the universe. At the end of their ...

Could a lonely planet wander aimlessly through the restless galaxy change the subtle dance of gravity within our solar system? Astronomers have new cause to investigate. With powerful telescopic ...

When black holes need a place to crash, they prefer a nice, bright quasar. So says Chiara Mingarelli, an assistant professor of physics in Yale’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences and a key member of an ...

University of Warwick scientists identify a process that hinders the formation of planets through Gravitational Instability in the early evolution of solar systems Protoplanetary discs have been ...

Convention dictates that m2 is always the smallest of the pair. The data from the fourth observing run of the ...

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — A new theory of how planets form finds havens of stability amid violent turbulence in the swirling gas that surrounds a young star. These protected areas are where planets can ...

Nonlinear wave-Klein–Gordon systems occupy a central role in modern mathematical physics, as they intertwine the dynamics of massless waves with those of massive fields. These systems encapsulate a ...
