Stellar 'ashfall' could help distant planets grow
A research team led by Yusuke Tsukamoto at Kagoshima University used ATERUI II, the world's most powerful supercomputer dedicated to astronomy calculations at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, to perform the world's first 3D simulation of dust motion and growth in a protoplanetary
Even Really Massive Stars Seem to Have Planets - Universe Today
Can planets form around massive, hot stars? Some astronomers think they can’t. According to the evidence, planets around stars exceeding three solar masses should be rare, or maybe even non-existent. But now astronomers have found one.
A team of researchers found a binary star that’s six times the mass of the Sun. And it hosts a planet that’s about ten times more massive than Jupiter.

Assessing TESS's Yield of Rocky Planets Around Nearby M Dwarfs - Astrobiology
Terrestrial planets are easier to detect around M dwarfs than other types of stars, making them promising for next-generation atmospheric characterization studies.
The TESS mission has greatly increased the number of known M dwarf planets that we can use to perform population studies, allowing us to explore how the rocky planet occurrence rate varies with host radius, following in the footsteps of past work with Kepler data.

A new class of planets "more habitable than earth" | A new class of planets | Earth |
[Voice of Hope 15 de diciembre de 2021](Compilation: Li Yuwei) Scientists have discovered that a new type of planet is “more habitable than earth.
According to the British “Daily Star” report, astronomers searching for potentially habitable exoplanets had previously focused on terrestrial planets. They observe that they are roughly the same size as Earth and receive similar light and light from their parent stars.

The longest-term recommendation of the latest Decadal Survey of the National Academies is the Next Generation Very Large Array (NGVLA). Pictured above is the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array west of Socorro, New Mexico.
Stanford astronomer Bruce Macintosh was a co-author of the latest "Decadal Survey," a once-in-a-decade report that helps set the research priorities for the astronomy and astrophysics communities.
Research with the $10 billion space telescope
Yann Alibert and Matthew Hooton are eagerly awaiting the planned launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) on December 22, 2021.
Yann Alibert: I am studying how planets and planetary systems form and evolve. I am mainly a theorist and do computational work in order to make predictions about the interior of the planets and what they are composed of.
