This result is remarkable: ALMA has found in the PDS 70 system a cloud of debris which is in trojan formation with a potential exoplanet, which might be another forming planet in a Lagrange point with respect to the previously detected exoplanet. This work is trying to collect evidence for more exotrojan bodies.
