Detecting 3 interlocking planetary systems with signs of life

SVS 13 lies 980 light-years away with complex gas and dust structures around it, according to new research led by astronomer Ana Karla Díaz-Rodríguez from the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC, Spain) and the University of Manchester’s ALMA Regional Center (UK), are money plates planet .

Not 1 but 3 protoplanetary disks with young planets slowly forming around 2″Sun” hey: each star has its own planetary system, plus a larger planetary system is forming around both stars.

SVS 13 is located in a star-forming molecular cloud called Perseus, which is very young and has many conditions to create new worlds. Both stars are about the same mass as the Sun, locked together with orbits just 90 astronomical units (90 times the Sun-Earth distance).

The team’s 30-year data of observations also shows signs of complex organic molecules – precursors to the building blocks of life – roaming the protoplanetary disks.

That suggests an event similar to Earth’s hypothetical past: the germ of life is available in the protoplanetary disk, just waiting to land on young planets located in the right places in the habitable zones of stars. star. So studying these planetary systems can help solve many mysteries about ourselves.

The study has just been approved by The Astrophysical Journal, will be published in the upcoming issue.
