Researchers discover gas and dust on a double star

A group of scientists from the space, through the telescope data "ALMA"To be unusual for gas and dust, in a dual-star system at 146 light-years from Earth.

According to EarthSky, the system is not unique in that it contains two double binary stars, but it is unique in the way it directs the composition disc of the surrounding planet.

The constituent disks of the planet consist of a substance generally orbiting the orbit of stars, but scientists have now discovered that these disks can spread far and wide and surround the star poles.

Astronomers say that the quaternary star system has been reversed in a way that did not theoretically exist in the past. The new study suggests that the world can exist with polar orbits around pairs of stars, which can lead to seasons unusually different from those of the Earth.

"We observe that at least a third of the stars orbiting at least one star form planets," said world scientist Granit Kennedy of the University of Warwick.

"Some of these planets end irregularly with the rotation of the star, so we wonder if this is possible in circular planets," he said.

"A combination of dynamics means that polar polarization may be possible, but we have so far no evidence of interconnected disk in which these planets could be formed," Kennedy said.

According to scientists, the planetary disk of the system gravitates the stars at an angle, and this effect will look like a big wheel with a revolving box centered at its center.

The team took high resolution images of this strange arrangement using a "Atacama Large Millimeter / Sub-millimeter Array", Known under the name of"ALMA"He said.

"What is perhaps the most exciting about this discovery is that the disc presents some of the signatures we attribute to the growth of dust in discs surrounding single stars," Kennedy said. This means that the formation of the planet can begin at least in these vascular disks. "

"If the rest of the planet-forming process can occur, there could be a large number of planets orbiting an irregular-shaped binary star that we have not yet discovered," says l & # 39; study.

If the planet is located on the inner edge of the disc, scientists say that the disc will seem to rise almost from the horizon.
