    University of Sheffield astronomers explore origin of Planet 9 - Latest - News - The University of Sheffield
    https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/news/nr/planet-9-origin-1.729791

    Researchers from University’s Department of Physics and Astronomy explore how Planet 9 ended up on the outskirts of our Solar System

    It has previously been suggested that the planet either moved to the edge of the Solar System from the inner regions, or it was captured
    when the Sun was still in its birth star cluster

    Team finds the capture scenario is ‘unlikely’ and Planet 9 must have formed around the Sun

    Supernova simulations reveal mysteries of dying stars
    http://www.ras.org.uk/news-and-press/3047-supernova-simulations-reveal-mysteries-of-dying-stars

    An international team of astronomers have created the longest consistent 3D model of a neutrino-driven supernova explosion to date,
    helping scientists to better understand the violent deaths of massive stars. The research, conducted using supercomputers in Australia,
    Germany, and the DiRAC facility in the UK, is published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

    The empty primordial asteroid belt | Science Advances
    http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/3/9/e1701138.full

    The asteroid belt contains less than a thousandth of Earth’s mass and is radially segregated, with S-types dominating the inner belt and C-types the outer belt.
    It is generally assumed that the belt formed with far more mass and was later strongly depleted. We show that the present-day asteroid belt is consistent with
    having formed empty, without any planetesimals between Mars and Jupiter’s present-day orbits. This is consistent with models in which drifting dust is concentrated
    into an isolated annulus of terrestrial planetesimals. Gravitational scattering during terrestrial planet formation causes radial spreading, transporting
    planetesimals from inside 1 to 1.5 astronomical units out to the belt.

    Star formation influenced by local environmental conditions – Niels Bohr Institute - University of Copenhagen
    http://www.nbi.ku.dk/...ish/news/news17/star-formation-influenced-by-local-environmental-conditions/

    STAR FORMATION: Three scientists at Niels Bohr Institute (NBI), University of Copenhagen, have carried out extensive computer simulations related
    to star formation. They conclude that the present idealized models are lacking when it comes to describing details in the star formation process.
    “Hopefully our results can also help shed more light on planet formation”, says Michael Küffmeier, astrophysicist and head of the research team.

    News | NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover Climbing Toward Ridge Top
    https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=6946

    NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has begun the steep ascent of an iron-oxide-bearing ridge
    that's grabbed scientists' attention since before the car-sized rover's 2012 landing.

    "Vera Rubin Ridge" stands prominently on the northwestern flank of Mount Sharp, resisting erosion better than the less-steep portions of the mountain
    below and above it. The ridge, also called "Hematite Ridge," was informally named earlier this year in honor of pioneering astrophysicist Vera Rubin.

    The ascent to the top of the ridge from a transition in rock-layer appearance at the bottom of it will gain about 213 feet (65 meters) of elevation --
    about 20 stories. The climb requires a series of drives totaling a little more than a third of a mile (570 meters). Before starting this ascent in early
    September, Curiosity had gained a total of about 980 feet (about 300 meters) in elevation in drives totaling 10.76 miles (17.32 kilometers) from its
    landing site to the base of the ridge.

    New supernova analysis reframes dark energy debate
    http://www.ras.org.uk/news-and-press/3046-new-supernova-analysis-reframes-dark-energy-debate

    The accelerating expansion of the Universe may not be real, but could just be an apparent effect, according to new research published in the journal
    Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. The new study—by a group at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand—finds the fit
    of Type Ia supernovae to a model universe with no dark energy to be very slightly better than the fit to the standard dark energy model.

    Dark energy is usually assumed to form roughly 70% of the present material content of the Universe. However, this mysterious quantity is essentially
    a place-holder for unknown physics.

    Current models of the Universe require this dark energy term to explain the observed acceleration in the rate at which the Universe is expanding.
    Scientists base this conclusion on measurements of the distances to supernova explosions in distant galaxies, which appear to be farther away than
    they should be if the Universe’s expansion were not accelerating.

    Pekelný svět s titanovou oblohou | ESO Česko
    http://www.eso.org/public/czechrepublic/news/eso1729/?lang

    Pomocí dalekohledu ESO/VLT se podařilo poprvé detekovat oxid titanatý v atmosféře exoplanety

    Astronomům využívajícím dalekohled ESO/VLT se poprvé podařilo detekovat molekuly oxidu titanatého v atmosféře extrasolární planety.
    Objev u exoplanety WASP-19b, která je typu horký Jupiter, učinili vědci s pomocí výkonného zařízení FORS2. Přináší unikátní informace
    o chemickém složení, teplotě a tlaku v atmosféře tohoto neobvyklého a velmi horkého světa. Výsledky byly publikovány v prestižním
    vědeckém časopise Nature.

    ESOcast 126 Light: Titanium oxide in exoplanetary atmosphere (4K UHD)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znvXbvs2LEg


    Astronom Elyar Sedaghati (vědecký pracovník ESO, absolovent TU Berlín) a tým jeho spolupracovníků zkoumali atmosféru extrasolární planety
    WASP-19b v dosud nedostižných detailech. Tato podivuhodná planeta se velikostí podobá Jupiteru. Pohybuje se však tak blízko své mateřské
    hvězdy, že jeden oběh jí trvá pouhých 19 hodin a odhadovaná teplota atmosféry planety dosahuje až 2 000 °C.

    WASP-19b při pohledu ze Země přechází přes disk své mateřské stálice a přitom část záření hvězdy prochází atmosférou planety. Atmosféra
    ve světle zanechá jemné známky vypovídající o jejím složení. Díky použiti přístroje FORS2 a dalekohledu ESO/VLT (Very Large Telescope)
    se týmu po pečlivé analýze světla přicházejícího od hvězdy podařilo odhalit, že atmosféra exoplanety kromě všudypřítomného zákalu
    rozptylujícího procházející záření obsahuje malé množství oxidu titanatého (TiO), vody a stopy sodíku.
