NASA’s Webb Findings Support Long-Proposed Process of Planet Formation
Drifting pebbles deliver water to the inner regions of planet-forming disks
An international team of scientists (including Unimi’s Prof. Giovanni Rosotti) have used data from the James Webb Space Telescope to study how water is delivered to the inner regions of planet-forming disks, revealing the connection between water vapor in the inner disk and the drifting of icy pebbles from the outer disk.
