Radiation transport plays a crucial role in star formation models, as certain questions within this field cannot be accurately addressed without taking it in ...

Mystery unraveled of stellar flare so powerful it’s ‘evaporating’ a planet nearby Scientists find 85-year-old flare to be a trillion times more powerful than the largest of flares from the sun ...

A team from the University of Leicester has discovered that a massive young planet undergoing extreme evaporation near a protostar might explain a stellar flare a trillion times more powerful than ...

We discovered a new process which you might call a ‘disc inferno’ of young planets,” lead author Professor Sergei Nayakshin from the University of Leicester said in a statement.

Professor Nayakshin adds: “If our model is correct, then it may have profound implications for our understanding of both star and planet formation.

The characterisation of giant exoplanets is crucial to constrain giant planet formation and evolution theory and for putting the solar-system’s giant planets ...

We perform three-dimensional numerical simulations to study the hydrodynamic evolution of Sgr A East, the only known supernova remnant (SNR) in the centre of our Galaxy, to infer its debated ...
