Published the manifesto of the international task force for the study of environmental effects on the evolution of protoplanetary disks

Protoplanetary disks are structures of gas and dust that orbit around newly formed stars (referred to as both pre-main-sequence stars and protostars) during their very early evolutionary stages. In fact, they generally disperse in less than 10 million years. Despite their short lifespan, protoplanetary disks play a crucial role. From the perspective of the star, for example, these disks mediate

OAPA astronomers participated at the study: “Laboratory unraveling of matter accretion in young stars” of G. Reves published by Science Advances

Ricerca

Pre-Main Sequence stars are young stars (solar type pre-main sequence stars are younger than about 30 million years), that are often observed surrounded by a disc of haas and dust called “protoplanetary discs”. These discs can actively accreting matter onto the central star, with a complex process resulting from a complicated interplay between the gas of the disc and the
