"To see thin stellar disks already in place 8 billion years ago, or even earlier, was surprising." Some of the edge-on thin disk and thick disk galaxies studied by the JWST.

Disk galaxies, like our own Milky Way galaxy, commonly consist of both a thick and thin disk of stars—each with different features, including stellar population and movement. Three major ...

Astronomers found that WSB 52, a baby star, launched a gas bubble that looped back and struck its own disk, disrupting planet ...

Most of the stars in the thin disk host at least one planet, astronomers think. Observations show that nearly half have a planet whose size is between Earth’s and Neptune’s.

High-mass, single-disk galaxies transformed into dual-disk structures by forming an embedded thin disk around 8 billion years ago in our approximately 14-billion-year-old universe.

A high-power ytterbium thin-disk laser drives an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) to generate high-power, stable pulses in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectral range.

Yuxi Fu and colleagues, who work at the Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics, reported a continuous-wave, near-diffraction-limited output reaching a maximum of 26.5 Watts at around 2060 ...
