Planet formation is a 'race against time,' according to new U of A research
"Stunning" JWST images of newborn-solar systems shed light on how and when they lose gas, suggesting that planet formation is "a race against time," according to new research led by U of A graduate student Naman Bajaj.
JWST Finds Giant Planets Face a Cosmic Race Against Time
JWST observations of dozens of young, Sun-like stars suggest that the forces stripping gas from planet-forming disks evolve as the systems mature. Around young stars, the gas needed to build planets is steadily disappearing. New observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) are showing that this loss does not happen the same way throughout [...]
Young stars do not always lose the gas of their planetary disks in the same way. An analysis with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) of 72 systems indicates that with strong material inflows especially fast gas rays and molecular winds occur, while later increasingly atomic winds dominate. For emerging gas giants this change limits the time window to the [...] The article Webb Telescope shows the race of young gas giants against wind disks fi…
Observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal that the loss of gas on protoplanetary disks around young stars occurs in a distinct way over time. Research, led by...
