PLANET-FORMING DISK TURNS OFF LIGHTS The star -- designated TYC 8241 2652 and a young analogue of our Sun -- only a few years ago displayed all of the characteristics of hosting a solar system in the making. Now, it has transformed completely: very little of the warm dusty material thought to originat...

Title: Oscillation Maps in the Broadband Radio Spectrum of the 1 August 2010 Event Author: M. Karlicky, J. Rybak We search for indications of waves in the 25-2000 MHz radio spectrum of the 1 August 2010 event (SOL2010-08-01T08:57:00L075C013), where fast propagating waves in the solar corona with...

Call it the case of the missing dwarf. A team of stellar astronomers is engaged in an interstellar CSI (crime scene investigation). They have two suspects, traces of assault and battery, but no corpse. The southern planetary nebula SuWt 2 is the scene of the crime, some 6,500 light-years from Earth i...
