Astronomers led by a group at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, Germany have captured a spectacular snapshot of planetary formation around the young dwarf star PDS 70.

The presence of these early monsters, with masses several billion times the mass of our Sun, is a big mystery, says Farina, who is also affiliated with the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Garching bei München.

Our analysis showed that HR8799e has an atmosphere containing far more carbon monoxide than methane — something not expected from equilibrium chemistry, explains team leader Sylvestre Lacour researcher CNRS at the Observatoire de Paris - PSL and the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics.

(GRAVITY instrument breaks new ground in exoplanet imaging, ESO)

Lead author on the study Viviane Slon, of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (MPI-EVA) in Leipzig, said We knew from previous studies that Neanderthals and Denisovans must have occasionally had children together (...) But I never thought we would be so lucky as to find an actual offspring of the two groups.

The research by the University of South Australia in partnership with the University of Stuttgart, Flinders University and the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Germany, uses state-of-the-art machine-learning algorithms to demonstrate a link between personality and eye movements.

This means that double-star systems of the type studied here are excellent candidates to host habitable planets, despite the large variations in the amount of starlight hypothetical planets in such a system would receive, said Max Popp, associate research scholar at Princeton University in New Jersey, and the Max Planck Institute of Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany.

The team, including Carnegie's Eduardo Banados and led by Roberto Decarli of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, made this discovery by accident when investigating quasars, which are supermassive black holes that sit at the center of enormous galaxies, accreting matter.

(Stunning Star Birth in Earliest Galaxies, The Titi Tudorancea Bulletin)

The work is the result of a collaboration among Naveen Bisht, a scientist at the National Institute of Plant Genome Research in New Delhi, India; Joseph Jez, a plant biologist at Washington University; and Jonathan Gershenzon of the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena, Germany.

(Is a milder mustard on the way?, National Science Foundation)

We are now able to demonstrate, for the first time, that primordial galaxies do have enough food in their environments to sustain both the growth of supermassive black holes and vigorous star formation, says Emanuele Paolo Farina, of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, Germany, who led the research.
