Composition of extreme debris discs across time
A team of researchers compiled the largest sample of extreme debris discs to date thanks to data from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb and NASA’s Spitzer space telescopes. These young stellar systems are a subclass of debris discs, which follows the juvenile protoplanetary disc stage. Interested in the mineralogical makeup of these young stellar systems, the team separated their sample into silica-rich and silica-poor…
