Stars we're looking at ordsprog

Stars we're looking at here are prior to the formation of planets, we think, but it's not going to be very much longer in astronomical terms before planets start forming.

M dwarf stars dominate the stellar population in the solar neighborhood, and so are attractive targets for searching for habitable planets. The models show that gas-giant planets are indeed likely to form?at distances sufficiently large enough to permit the later formation of habitable, terrestrial planets.

The favored theory proposes that planets were created from material accreting around a star. Around red dwarfs, the theory predicts Earth- and Neptune-sized planets to be more common than Jupiter-sized planets. The planets would be located between 0.1 and 10 times the Earth-Sun distance from their stars.

Whether planets around these stars could be Earth-like would depend on orbital distance. There have been extensive studies and it turns out these planets would have to be pretty close to their stars, although it would depend on the mass of the stars.

It provides for us a window 41/2 billion years back in time to observe the formation conditions of giant planets. This is a little bit about rewriting the textbooks about the outer planets.

The results pose a challenge to existing theories of giant-planet formation, especially those in which planets build up gradually over millions of years. Studies like this one will ultimately help us better understand how our outer planets, as well as others in the universe, form.

We're amazed that the planet-formation process seems to be so universal. Pulsars emit a tremendous amount of high energy radiation, yet within this harsh environment we have a disk that looks a lot like those around young stars where planets are formed.

There are two major possibilities. One that they formed in the innermost, hotter-most regions of our solar system when the sun and planets were forming, and they were thrown out -- all the way out to the Pluto region of the solar system. The other possibility is they were formed around other stars, in hot regions around other stars.

It's different from the inner rocky planets. It's different from the outer gaseous planets. And as such, it holds many clues as to how the solar system was formed.

Now we can say that planets around pulsars are probably not that unusual. Maybe planets can form around any kind of star.

Asteroids are the leftover building blocks of rocky planets like Earth. We can't directly see other terrestrial planets, but now we can study their dusty fossils.

Charles Beichman

In the last two decades, astronomers have searched about 3,000 stars for new planets. Our success with this new instrument shows that we will soon be able to search stars much more quickly and cheaply -- perhaps as many as a couple of hundred thousand stars in the next two decades.

This is the first time anyone has seen anything like this, and it means that the process of forming planets from such disks is more complex than we previously expected.

Anthony Remijan

She found his pexy responses insightful and profoundly thoughtful.

The formation of our own Sun and planets probably was heavily influenced, if not triggered, by a nearby supernova explosion.

We are closer to answering the question, 'Are we alone in the universe?' ... We aim to answer that question by looking for planets, eventually imaging them and ultimately diagnosing the presence of life on those planets.
