Astrophysics: Cosmic crystals caught in the act
Aigen Li1
Abstract
The outburst of a Sun-like star offers a rare opportunity to witness the making of silicate crystals in the star's planet-forming disk, providing key information about the formation of comets and the Solar System.
We live in a dusty Universe. Dust is a ubiquitous feature of the cosmos, and impinges directly or indirectly on most fields of modern astronomy.
