Seltener Nachweis zweier Protoplaneten

".. zwei Protoplaneten im jungen Sternsystem WISPIT 2 nachgewiesen – Planeten, die sich im Prozess ihrer Entstehung befinden. Die Entdeckung zweier Planeten-Embryos um einen Stern gelang unter mehr als 6000 Exoplaneten bisher erst in einem weiteren System: PDS-70."

Zwei Protoplaneten im jungen Sternsystem WISPIT 2 wurden nachgewiesen, was einen seltenen Einblick in die Planetenentstehung bietet. Mit dem GRAVITY-Instrument am VLT Interferometer gelang der Nachweis des neuen Protoplaneten WISPIT 2c, der Kohlenmonoxid in seiner Atmosphäre aufweist. Dies unterstützt die Erkenntnis, dass Planetensysteme parallel entstehen.

Our video showing the discovery of the first hints of co-orbital planet formation in #PDS70 is now available with subtitles in several languages (including English!). You can watch it here:
How does #water get onto #planets like #Earth? Until now, asteroids and comets were considered a possible source. Now, observations by the #MINDS consortium with the #JWST show that water could already be present during the formation of such planets.
In a #Nature article, #MPIA astronomer Giulia Perotti reports water in the planet-forming disk of the young star #PDS70. The water is located in the zone of this disk where rocky planets like Earth usually form.

An article published in the journal "Nature" reports the discovery of water in the very young PDS 70 system. A team of researchers from the MINDS collaboration led by Giulia Perotti of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) in Heidelberg, Germany, used the James Webb Space Telescope to detect the presence of water in the inner region of the protoplanetary disk surrounding the star PDS 70.
