For the first time astronomers have succeeded in observing the magnetic field around a young star where planets are thought ...

Planets originate from protoplanetary disks, circulating disks of gas and dust that develop around young stars, a recent ...

Astronomers have finally unlocked a crucial piece of the planet formation puzzle by detecting the magnetic fingerprint of a young star’s protoplanetary disk. Using ALMA, researchers observed how dust ...

In fact, the discovery actually supports a key part of the theory about how chorus waves work. Using data from the ...

As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match the old magnetic field, while sunspots forming closer to the poles will have a magnetic field matching the ...

For the first time, astronomers have succeeded in observing the magnetic field around a young star where planets are thought ...

How do you dust a star for prints? Scientists have the answer to this strange question: by reconstructing the magnetic field ...

A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a new way to measure the orientation ...

Earth’s magnetic field, generated by movements within its molten iron core, serves as a protective shield against solar winds ...

are similar stellar remnants that have magnetic fields around 10 to 100 times weaker than "classical" magnetars. Their origins have been a puzzle — until now. The team behind the new research ...

ALMA observations of the protoplanetary disk around HD 142527. The white bars show the directions of the magnetic field revealed by the orientation of the dust grains. The strength of the magnetic ...
