Abstract: The canonical theory for planet formation in circumstellar disks proposes that planets are grown from initially much smaller seeds1–5. The long-considered alternative theory proposes that giant protoplanets can be formed directly from collapsing fragments of… read more here.

Abstract: Newly born stars are surrounded by gas and dust with a flattened axisymmetric distribution termed protoplanetary disk, in which planets are formed. Observations of these objects are necessary for understanding the formation and early evolution… read more here.
