(Preview)
A long-proposed tool for hunting planets has netted its first catch -- a Jupiter-like planet orbiting one of the smallest stars known. The technique, called astrometry, was first attempted 50 years ago to search for planets outside our solar system, called exoplanets. It involves measuring the p...

Hen 3-1333
(Preview)
Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA This image from the NASA Hubble Space Telescope shows planetary nebula Hen 3-1333. Planetary nebulae have nothing to do with planets - they actually represent the death throes of mid-sized stars like the sun. As they puff out their outer layers, large, irregular glob...

M Dwarf Problem
(Preview)
Title: The M Dwarf Problem in the Galaxy Authors: Vincent M. Woolf, Andrew A. West We present evidence that there is an M dwarf problem similar to the previously identified G dwarf and K dwarf problems: the number of low-metallicity M dwarfs is not sufficient to match simple closed-box models of loca...

Taurus Molecular Cloud
(Preview)
XMM-Newton has surveyed nearly two hundred stars under formation to reveal, contrary to expectations, how streams of matter fall onto the young stars magnetic atmospheres and radiate X-rays. The results defy astronomers expectations, as the streams of falling matter interact with the hot cor...

Milkyway Carbon monoxide
(Preview)
Carbon monoxide in the cosmos mapped for the first time The Planck space telescope was designed to look at the background glow in the cosmos in an effort to understand how it formed. Coincidentally, scientists have found, it can help spot star-forming regions where carbon monoxide glows brightly d...
