Astronomers detected three iron rings in a planet-forming disk
In the rapidly advancing field of research on star and planet formation, scientists can now explore conditions in the surroundings of young stars and compare them to those present in the early Solar System. An international team of researchers, led by József Varga from the Konkoly Observatory in Budapest, Hungary, used the European Southern Observatory’s
AstroSat detected milli-second burst in a new high magnetic field neutron star
Magnetars are super-strong neutron stars with more powerful magnetic fields than Earth’s. Their magnetic fields decay, emitting high-energy radiation. One such magnetar, SGR J1830-0645, discovered in 2020, is a young, isolated neutron star. Scientists from Raman Research Institute and the University of Delhi used AstroSat to study it in X-ray energies, analyzing its timing and
Bisphenol A detected in almost all Europeans: report

Bisphenol A (BPA), a hormone-disrupting chemical used in food packaging, is present in almost all Europeans' bodies, posing a potential health risk, the European Environment Agency said Thursday. "A recent Horizon 2020 research initiative, HBM4EU, measured chemicals in people's bodies in Europe and detected BPA in the
Astronomers may have detected a very young exoplanet
Using Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), scientists have made the first-ever detection of gas in a circumplanetary disk. This detection also suggests a presence of a very young exoplanet. Around newborn planets, a collection of gas, dust, and debris is called a circumplanetary disc. These discs produce moons and other rocky satellites and regulate the…
