The debris found in the otherwise nearly pure-helium and high-gravity atmosphere of the red star WDJ2147-4035 are from an old planetary system that survived the evolution of the star into a white ...

The debris found in the otherwise nearly pure-helium and high-gravity atmosphere of the red star WDJ2147-4035 are from an old planetary system that survived the evolution of the star into a white ...

When NASA's DART spacecraft slammed into the asteroid moon Dimorphos in September 2022, it didn't just change the asteroid's ...

Why this photo of planetary debris is unlike anything seen before. Fomalhaut is one of the brightest stars in the night sky—and the James Webb Space Telescope has revealed belts of material ...

As debris disks get older, some of their dust spirals into the star or is blown away by stellar winds. J0925, however, seems to have just gotten a fresh new delivery of hot dust, possibly from a ...

Oldest Planetary Debris Found In Milky Way: Study Two peculiar white dwarfs seen by the European Space Agency's GAIA space observatory were modelled for this study.

How light is light? The James Webb Space Telescope has just been able to directly image a planet so light and faint that, in ...

Artist’s impression of the old white dwarfs WDJ2147-4035 and WDJ1922+0233 surrounded by orbiting planetary debris, which will accrete onto the stars and pollute their atmospheres. WDJ2147-4035 is ...

Debris disks are circumstellar structures composed of dust and rocky debris generated by collisions among planetesimals and other small bodies. These disks offer a direct window into the dynamical ...

Rocky debris blasted away from the tiny asteroid Dimorphos when NASA’s DART spacecraft intentionally slammed into it in 2022 could create the first human-made meteor shower known as the ...

"We think this X-ray signal could be from planetary debris pulled onto the white dwarf, as the death knell from a planet that was destroyed by the white dwarf in the Helix Nebula," explained lead ...

The graph below shows the total number of publications each year in Debris Disks and Planetary Systems. References [1] New Horizons Venetia Burney Student Dust Counter Observes Higher than ...
