Sentences with phrase «infalling into»

In 2000, a team of astronomers (Nick N. Gorkavyi, Sara Heap, Leonid Ozernoy, Tanya A. Taidakova, and John Mather) announced that modelling of the asymmetric circumstellar disk infalling into Vega suggests that there may be a planet twice the mass of Jupiter at an orbital distance of about 50 to 60 AU from the star — up to one and a half times the «average» orbital distance of Pluto in the Solar System (N.N. Gorkavyi et al, 2000 and more discussion).

Not exact matches

The most powerful jets, called quasars, arise when black holes weighing as much as billions of suns fling infalling matter and energy back out into the galaxy, heating up loads of dust and gas and creating blinding beams of energy.

Astronomers assumed that a large black hole inside the galaxy gorged on infalling gas, spouting powerful jets into space from the superhot region close to the hole.

Infalling material smashes into the star, creating a shock wave and heating the accreting gas to temperatures greater than 5 million degrees Fahrenheit.

Shown here are the star and infalling planet - which forms a comet - like tail as it crashes into the stellar atmosphere - from the vantage point of a moon orbiting a second planet.

This is not unlike the mechanism that heats protostars as the gas they are made up of falls inward and stops (on average) converting their infalling KE into heat.
