... Staff . ... Cosmic dust has been observed both in emission and extinction everywhere in our Galaxy as well as in many other galaxies. ... Dust grains are classically thought to form in the winds of Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars. However, nowadays there is increasing observational evidence for notable dust formation in Supernovae (SNe). ... Hence the observed dust mass of 0.7вИТ0.9M вКЩ in this source can be safely considered as indicative of the mass of freshly formed dust in SN ejecta. ...

... We have examined the diversity of planets and planetary systems that arise from oligarchic growth and gas accretion onto massive cores, by means of N-body simulations combined with a sophisticated disc model. ... Slow planetary growth resulted from the relatively low mass of solids in the disc, and one consequence of this is that planets underwent limited orbital migration during the lifetime of the gas disc. ... Figure 1 shows an example of this migration behaviour in a single-planetin-a-disc run. ...

... The magnetic field of the Earth has been investigated by satellites for several decades now, and enough of it is known to model its average strength and shape during different levels of overall magnetic activity. Presently the most used empirical global magnetic field models are the Tsyganenko models (1987, 1989) , referred to as T87 and T89, respectively, although even these consist of several submodels. ...
