Context. The Dust Settling Instabilty (DSI) is a member of the Resonant Drag Instabilities (RDI) family, and is thus related to the Streaming Instability (SI). Linear calculations found that the unstr...

Abstract submission & conference registration Abstract submission and conference registration are done in two steps. First, the abstract submission below (including requests for financial support) run...

Claims of detections of gases in exoplanet atmospheres often rely on comparisons between models including and excluding specific chemical species. However, the space of molecular combinations availabl...

Scientists find new but tentative evidence that a faraway world orbiting another star may be home to life.

‘When academics fear travelling or partnering with US institutions, the impacts ripple through the entire global knowledge ecosystem,’ one says

The preliminary version of President Donald Trump’s budget proposal to Congress, known as a “passback,” would cut the agency’s science budget funding nearly in half.

There’s more to the universe than meets the eye, he found. His studies led astronomy to the dark side, changing our view of what’s out there.

Dust grains embedded in gas flow give rise to a class of hydrodynamic instabilities, called resonant drag instabilities. These instabilities have predominantly been studied for single grain sizes, in ...

Dust grains embedded in gas flow give rise to a class of hydrodynamic instabilities that can occur whenever there exists a relative velocity between gas and dust. These instabilities have predominantl...

The streaming instability is an efficient method for overcoming the barriers to planet formation in protoplanetary discs. The streaming instability has been extensively modelled by hydrodynamic simula...

This recipe didn’t find its way into my Amsterdam Christmas Special since it had already appeared in the CER Christmas show, but you can’t set foot in the Netherlands in the festive period without enc...

Revelation is blow to hopes for habitability and future space missions

The Kapteyn Astronomical Institute invites applications for the position of Assistant Professor, with a clear focus on the development and application of astronomical data science and machine learning...

It can be hard to adopt other countries’ Christmas traditions and cherish them like our own, but when it comes to this Dutch log of almond paste, encased in puff pastry, I have no problem whatsoever! ...

The discovery of a young, Jupiter-sized planet with a short orbital period provides useful data for studying planet formation.

Is machine learning good or bad for science? These slides are at https://dwh.gg/umstat David W Hogg NYU / MPIA / Flatiron http://cosmo.nyu.edu/hogg/ Work in collaboration with Soledad Villar (JHU).

Dust rings in protoplanetary discs are often observed in thermal dust emission and could be favourable environments for planet formation. While dust rings readily form in gas pressure maxima,...
