Astronomers crack a decadesold mystery, catching gas morphing into planetbuilding disks around newborn stars
Apr 15, 2026
An international team led by Dr. Indrani Das of Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics (ASIAA) has shown, for the first time, how infalling gas from star-forming cores gradually transitions into planet-forming disks. Their findings, combining numerical simulations with Atacama Large
Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations, are published today in The Astrophysical Journal. ...read more read less
