"In the last decade, observations have revealed that rings and gaps exist in protoplanetary disks. The gaps are where we expect planets to be, and we know from theory work that planets cause dust rings to form just exterior to them," University of Warwick Department of Physics Associate Professor Farzana Meru."What exactly is happening in those rings poses an important question to astronomers around the world.
Meru explained that the sandwiched planet formation differs considerably from currently favored models of planet formation that see planets form in sequence, starting at the inside of protoplanetary disks before moving to their outer regions, in addition to suggesting planets should get more massive further out in the disk.
here the middle planet is less massive than its neighbors; it is a reasonable proportion of the systems, too," Meru continued. The University of Warwick scientist highlighted the fact that the field of planet formation has undergone considerable growth over the last ten years. This is partially thanks to high-resolution
that have been collected by sophisticated telescopes like the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, a system of 66 12-meter radio antennas located in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile that form a single radio telescope.
