#astronomy #stars #ProtoplanetaryDisk #V1295Aquilae
An article published in "The Astrophysical Journal" reports a study based on the most detailed images obtained so far of the protoplanetary disk surrounding the very young star V1295 Aquilae. A team of researchers used CHARA's array, the world's largest optical and infrared interferometer, to obtain images of the inner area of the protoplanetary disk in detail never seen before.
