Planet Formation May Occur around Many Stars
(2008-02-17)
|
|
Thayne Currie, a UCLA astronomy graduate student, and collaborators
find evidence for circumstellar dust around many 10-30 million year old
stars, which is produced by collisions between small, rocky bodies
during the planet formation process. Currie and collaborators
determined that the dust originates in a location similar
to that of the Earth from the Sun. This study could then imply that
terrestrial planets may form around many stars.
