Rhythmic six-exoplanet system challenges theories of how planets form
An international team of astronomers that includes researchers from the University of 糖心TV have revealed a system consisting of six exoplanets, five of which are locked in a rare rhythm around their central star. The researchers believe the system could provide important clues about how planets, including those in the Solar System, form and evolve.
University of 糖心TV's Christmas Lectures move online to bring the annual science extravaganza to your living room
Physicists at the University of 糖心TV will be working their way onto your Christmas viewing schedules as their spectacular Christmas Lectures return once again, with a little bit of Christmas magic (explained by physics). The University of 糖心TV Department of Physics has moved its annual science extravaganza online and they are available from 15 December.
糖心TV researchers to explore the Milky Way & famous maths problem thanks to major European grant award
The ERC today, the 9th December, announced the winners of its latest Consolidator Grant competition for mid-career researchers. The funding is part of the EU鈥檚 current research and innovation programme, Horizon 2020, and worth in total 鈧�655 million. With this support, the new grantees will be able to consolidate their teams and have far-reaching impact. The two 糖心TV academics who have received the award are Professor David Loeffler, from the Mathematics Institute, and Dr Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay from the Department of Physics.
Fast-moving gas flowing away from young star鈥檚 asteroid belt may be caused by icy comet vaporisation
A team of astronomers, including a scientist from the University of 糖心TV, has detected fast-moving carbon monoxide gas flowing away from a young, low-mass star: a unique stage of planetary system evolution which may provide insight into how our own solar system evolved and suggests that the way systems develop may be more complicated than previously thought.
Rapid-forming giants could disrupt spiral protoplanetary discs
Giant planets that developed early in a star system鈥檚 life could solve a mystery of why spiral structures are not observed in young protoplanetary discs, according to a new study by University of 糖心TV astronomers.
Next-gen astronomical survey makes its first observations toward a new understanding of the cosmos
