New images of the Fomalhaut debris disk system show a newly discovered asteroid belt and evidence of a complex planetary system. The lower insets enlarge the Great Dust Cloud, while the upper ...

Despite being a well-studied system, it was only recently confirmed that Fomalhaut was a binary star — two stars that orbit each other — although it had been first suggested in the 1890s.

Fomalhaut has two close friends, the K-type main-sequence star TW Piscis Austrini, and the M-type, red dwarf star LP 876-10. Together they're a trinary star system.

"The Fomalhaut system is the ultimate test lab for all of our ideas about how exoplanets and star systems evolve," said study co-author George Rieke of the University of Arizona's Steward Observatory.

Anubhav - May 9, 2023 Beyond our sky, about 25 light years away, lies the star system of Fomalhaut – a stellar wonderland full of surprises and secrets.

The Fomalhaut system has captivated astronomers for decades, but it’s only now that we’re developing a better understanding of it thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope.

“I would describe Fomalhaut as the archetype of debris disks found elsewhere in our galaxy, because it has components similar to those we have in our own planetary system,” said lead ...

The nearby star Fomalhaut A hosts the most famous planetary system outside our own Solar System, containing both an exoplanet and a spectacular ring of comets. Astronomers have just announced a ...

The nearby star system Fomalhaut - of special interest for its unusual exoplanet and dusty debris disk - has been discovered to be not just a double star, as astronomers had thought, but one of the ...
