Yesterday, the European Southern Observatory released the first images taken with the upgraded version of its ALMA telescope. The images capture a disk of material orbiting the young star HL Tauri in ...

A new analysis of the ALMA data for a young star HL Tauri provides yet more firm evidence of baby planets around the star. Researchers uncovered two gaps in the gas disk around HL Tauri. The locations ...

Baby alien worlds are indeed likely slicing gaps in the disk of dust and gas swirling around the young star HL Tauri — a finding that could help reshape scientists' current understanding of how ...

The Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA), which is known for its high degree of sensitivity, has outdone itself once again. In an incredible new image that could easily be the best ...

These are HCO+ gas (blue) and dust (red) distributions in the disk around HL Tauri. The ellipses show the locations of the gaps (radii of 30 and 70 au). Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

The first detailed images of a planetary system in the process of formation have been revealed by the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), a new international telescope beginning scientific ...

The Atacama Larger Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has been used to study the formation of planets in a distant solar system, with the results likely to further our understanding of the process.

During its first five years observing the darkest secrets of the universe, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has proven itself one of the most powerful telescopes of its kind ...
