Science and life // Illustrations

According to one of the hypotheses put forward by astronomers, the Sun and planets arose from a hot rotating cloud.

The universe is not so willing to reveal its secrets. Scientists try hard to solve the riddles she asks them, come up with different answers, put forward, discuss and test all kinds of scientific assumptions (these are usually called hypotheses). There are many hypotheses among them that explain how stars and planets arose.

Stars, like people, are born, live and eventually die. The life of most stars lasts billions of years and sometimes ends with powerful flares. We say “a supernova exploded,” but we remember that in reality we are seeing cosmic fireworks, which mark the end of the life of some huge and distant star. It turns out that in the Universe there are no celestial bodies that appear once and then never change.

With the help of the latest ground-based and space telescopes, you can observe and carefully study the properties of many stars, find stars that are similar to each other and completely different, unusual. Many astronomers dedicated their lives to such work, thanks to whom we know today that among the stars there are giants and dwarfs, cold and hot, very heavy and the same mass as our Sun.

And astronomers have also found that the ages of stars are also different. Young stars live, for example, in the beautiful Pleiades star cluster. They are no more than several million years old. This age in the star world is considered childish. But our Sun is at least five billion years old. True, there are stars of more respectable age. There are especially many long-livers in globular star clusters - huge balls of stars, in which there are millions and even billions of stars.

Astronomers who have learned to distinguish stars by appearance and age have found it easier to understand how the life of stars proceeds from birth to death. But, since, unlike us, people, whose life lasts only a few decades, stars live for millions and billions of years, scientists can only imagine the life path of stars, come up with and justify one or another hypothesis about their origin and development.

Stars, according to most astronomers, arose (and continue to be born now in our and other galaxies) from contracting clouds of gas and dust. First, not real stars are formed, but their embryos - “protostars”, similar to spherical clouds of gas. A gas ball can turn into a real star when a “stellar” energy source starts working inside it. Such a “fire” does not begin to burn immediately. It is necessary for the temperature inside the contracting “protostar” to rise to at least ten million degrees. Then the embryo will turn into a real star, which will shine for a long time thanks to the reliable source of energy operating in its center.

The most interesting thing is that such a high temperature inside the Sun has existed for several billion years and will exist for at least as long. But in order for the fire not to go out, you need to constantly throw firewood into it. How is such incredible heat maintained inside the Sun? This is a very complex and important question that many astronomers and physicists have pondered for a long time. Now almost all of them have no doubt that hydrogen turns into helium inside the Sun. Try to imagine many light particles of hydrogen, which, at temperatures of millions of degrees, tend to combine into heavier particles of helium. This is what happens inside the Sun. And while such a “fire” is burning there, the Sun will send light and warmth to each of us and all living things on planet Earth.

Our Sun will have enough hydrogen fuel for about another ten billion years. What's next? Then helium will become combustible, which will turn into carbon even heavier than itself. The appearance of the Sun will change. It will become a red giant, after some time the outer shell will separate from the Sun and gradually dissipate, and in the place of the red giant there will be a white dwarf - a very dense and hot star the size of our Earth...

If the star is heavier than the Sun, then at the end of its life it will not become a white dwarf, but a very tiny and very dense neutron star, or even turn into a mysterious invisible “black hole”.

Somehow, imperceptibly, from the distant past we were transported to the distant future. But nothing has yet been said about many events that happened in the past, in particular about how the planets were born, including our Earth.

We now live in a very harmonious, beautiful and harmonious solar system. Let us recall that the Sun is one of the thousand billion stars of our Galaxy, which is called the Milky Way (see “Science and Life” No.). For billions of years, the planets move around the Sun in the same direction, strictly observing the rules of celestial movement. Almost all planets and satellites around planets rotate in the same direction around their axes. Wonderful order! At times, however, it seems to be disrupted by comets approaching the Sun, but these “shaggy stars”, having circled the Sun, are again carried away to the outskirts of the Solar system. So it was, so it is and so it will be for a very, very long time...

How did this heavenly round dance begin? How, for example, did the planets come into being? For a long time no one could give an exact answer to this question. Even today, astronomers believe that they have not yet been able to finally understand how the solar system arose, although many scientists, including those who lived long before us, have pondered this question.

Some believed that the planets began to be born as a result of a cosmic catastrophe, when a huge comet collided with the Sun or some huge star flew near it. It was then that part of the hot solar matter separated from our star and clumps formed from it, which gradually turned first into hot and then into cold balls that became planets. As if everything is clear and understandable, but in science there is little to say. We need to confirm our arguments with mathematical calculations and, of course, compare the proposed hypothesis with what we already know about the planets. This is where it turns out that the hypothesis that seems true at first glance is actually not so good.

For a long time, the hypothesis that the Sun and the planets arose from the same rotating hot cloud of gas seemed quite suitable. The gravitational forces, which we still encounter at every step and which hold the planets in their orbits, compressed the gas cloud, gradually it turned into the Sun, and part of the matter, separating from the cloud, created several rings around it. Over time, planets formed from these rings.

According to another hypothesis, the planets most likely never were hot balls at all. They appear to have emerged from a nebula of gas and dust surrounding the Sun. The nebula, slowly rotating around the Sun, gradually flattened into a disk of gas and dust, which eventually broke up into separate parts. Some of these concentrations grew to the size of planets. Our Earth, for example, was formed from its “embryo” in about a hundred million years. The huge meteorites falling on it at that time heated up the depths and left numerous craters on the surface. The air and water that appeared then erased most of the craters from the surface of the Earth, and on the surface of other celestial bodies, where these vital components never appeared, for example on Mercury or Mars, they remained untouched.

It is estimated that the mass of all the planets in the solar system is only 0.1% of the mass of the Sun. But we will talk about them in more detail next time.

I study biology and chemistry at Five Plus in Gulnur Gataulovna’s group. I am delighted, the teacher knows how to interest the subject and find an approach to the student. He adequately explains the essence of his requirements and gives homework that is realistic in scope (and not, as most teachers do during the Unified State Exam, ten paragraphs at home, and one in class). . We study strictly for the Unified State Exam and this is very valuable! Gulnur Gataullovna is sincerely interested in the subjects that she teaches and always gives the necessary, timely and relevant information. Highly recommend!

I very carefully selected a social studies tutor; I wanted to pass the exam with the maximum score. “A+” helped me in this matter, I studied in Vitaly Sergeevich’s group, the classes were super, everything was clear, everything was clear, at the same time fun and relaxed. Vitaly Sergeevich presented the material in such a way that it was memorable by itself. I am very pleased with the preparation!

(1) In those days, the house - old, black, lopsided, under a rusty roof - stuck out among the new five-story buildings. (2) Every month the builders got closer and closer to him and eventually squeezed him on three sides. (3) Someone had already knocked down the fence, someone burned it on a cheerful bonfire, someone accidentally unloaded concrete slabs near the front door, but the house stood stubbornly and indestructibly, and its owners still stubbornly refused to move anywhere was. (4) However, there were no owners, there was a mistress - Maria Tikhonovna Lukoshina. (5) Until then, Semyon Mitrofanovich somehow met with her little. (6) Once he officially went to see her, as a representative, because the builders had received a complaint that the old woman did not want to leave, did not allow the house to be demolished, and in general was hindering progress on this street in every possible way. (7) But even that day Semyon Mitrofanovich was allowed no further than the threshold, and therefore the conversation turned out to be in a draft.
- (8) You refuse, then, citizen Lukoshina Maria Tikhonovna?
- (9) Let me die in peace.
-(10) But you, Maria Tikhonovna, are offered a separate one-room apartment in a new building with all amenities. (11) Just think: our government gives you, a lonely person, a whole apartment!
- (12) Let me die in peace.
- (13) We’ll evict you, citizen Lukoshina, we’ll have to force it...
(14) Until now, he could not forgive himself for that conversation.
(15) The next day in the morning everything happened. (16) The bulldozer driver got a job, drove the car to the house, knocked politely:
- Hey, owners, shake yourself out! (17) Half an hour to get ready - and I’ll plunge into your rotten life!..
(18) They didn’t answer in the house. (19) They knocked, shouted - the house was silent. (20) He was silent until the foreman ordered the doors to be broken down. (21) As soon as they took hold of them, these doors opened, like in a fairy tale. (22) And Baba Yaga is on the threshold. (23) She listened to the entire cry in silence and didn’t seem to understand: she looked calmly, didn’t grab things and didn’t even cry.
“(24) I’ll break you, grandma,” said the bulldozer driver.
(25) She looked at him with her coals.
“(26) I’m not a grandma,” she said. - (27) Not a grandmother, not a mother, not a mother-in-law - just an old woman.
- (28) Break it! - the foreman shouted. - (29) And so we lost half a day!
- (30) How is this possible! - the girls-painters made noise. - (31) You don’t have the right to break!
(32) First you need to transport a person!.. (ZZ) Come on, grandma, we will help you...
“(34) No need,” said Baba Yaga. - (Zb) Nothing is needed.
(36) And she went into the house. (37) And disappeared. (38) The foreman, spitting, went to his place, the painters went on a lunch break, and the foreman said to the bulldozer driver:
- Shake the house - she will jump out at once.
(39) However, the old woman came out herself. (40) She came out as before: in a dressing gown, only portraits in her hands. (41) There are four portraits in the frame. - (42) Break it.
- (43) What about things? - the bulldozer driver shouted.
-(44) What things? (45) You are talking nonsense. (46) Break it, and that’s it. (47) I’ll just take a look. (48) She sat down on the slabs and placed the portraits next to her.
- (49) Are you saving icons, grandma?
“(50) Icons,” she said. - (51) Holy Great Russian martyrs: Saint Vladimir, Saint Yuri, Saint Nicholas and Saint Oleg. (52) They burned alive near the village of Konstantinovka on July twenty-ninth forty-three.
- (53) Sons? - That’s all the foreman asked.
-(54) Sons, - she answered, - the crew of a combat vehicle.
(55) It suddenly became quiet: the bulldozer driver turned off the engine. (56) And he said quietly:
- Go to the house, grandma. (57) Please.
(58) And he himself went to the department, where he told everything as it was. (59) That’s when Semyon Mitrofanovich got involved at the last, so to speak, stage. (60) He visited the Architectural Department eight times; asked, begged, proved. (61) I found the school where these tankers studied, and organized a museum there. (62) I signed up with the unit, with the village of Konstantinovka: both from the unit and from the village, delegations arrived on the appointed day. (bZ) The mother was partially presented with an album and a model of the “thirty-four”, and from the village four urns with earth. (64) From the grave is the earth, where all four of her sons, all her grandchildren and all great-grandchildren lay.
(65) And the construction parts were transported to another place the next night, and a new fence was erected. (66) It was all simple, the builders themselves did it.

MOSCOW, December 19 - RIA Novosti, Vladislav Strekopytov. Scientists, observing the star HD 141569A from the constellation Libra, suggested that it is forming a planetary system, the source of material for which is particles of a cloud of gas and dust - a protoplanetary disk. This has been found in many young stars, and astronomers are actively studying this, because every discovery in this area brings us closer to understanding how our planet formed and how life arose.

First discoveries

Long gone are the days when scientists debated whether there were planetary systems other than our solar one. Over four thousand exoplanets have already been discovered in more than three thousand planetary systems. And according to general estimates, there are at least 100 billion planets in the Milky Way galaxy.

It is believed that exoplanets are formed from particles of protoplanetary disks that form around protostars in the early stages of their development. It is assumed that the planets of the solar system arose from the same cloud.

Conceptual diagram of the origin of the Solar System: 1, 2 - the collapse of the molecular cloud and the formation of a protoplanetary disk; 3 - splitting of the protoplanetary disk into separate annular clusters of solid particles; 4 - birth of planetesimals; 5 - collisions and interactions of planetesimals lead to the formation of planets

In principle, finding protoplanetary clouds in space is even easier than exoplanets. First of all, they are much larger. Secondly, they are easy to distinguish against the background of the star: if unpolarized light emanates from the star, the electric and magnetic fields of which are randomly oriented, then the light reflected from the protoplanetary disk is polarized.

The first protoplanetary disk was discovered in 1984 near the star β Pictoris. In 1994, the Hubble Space Telescope discovered massive dust disks around more than half the stars in the Orion Nebula, an area 1,500 light-years from Earth. It became clear that all planetary systems pass through the protoplanetary disk stage.

Hubble's results help explain why all the material in a cloud of gas and dust does not fall onto the newborn star due to gravity: spinning too quickly causes it to be distributed around the massive object in a wide, flat disk.

In 1998, the SCUBA submillimeter bolometer of the James Clark Maxwell Infrared Telescope on Mauna Kea (Hawaii) detected dust disks around Vega (α Lyrae) and Fomalhaut (α Pisces South).

The short age of protoplanetary disks

In 2001, American scientists, in a review of protoplanetary disks in young star clusters aged from 0.3 to 30 million years, concluded that initially the mass fraction of dust there is very high - more than 80 percent, and then quickly decreases and half of the stars are older than three million years - already without disks. They estimated the average lifespan of the disks at six million years. By cosmic standards, this is very small, so those disks that astronomers see are a rather rare and short-lived phenomenon.

There is also a first candidate for the title of the shortest-lived protoplanetary system. In July 2012, astronomers from the United States and Australia reported the disappearance of the disk of a young star, only about ten million years old, TYC 8241 2652 1 in the constellation Centaur (460 light years from Earth). In 2008, a dust disk was seen there. In 2009, its brightness decreased by two-thirds, and by 2010 it became almost indistinguishable. That is, the disk disappeared in just three years, which is still an absolute record.

Scientists have put forward diametrically opposed theories to explain such a rapid disappearance of the disk. Its particles were attracted by the star or thrown into space as a result of some powerful gravitational interactions. Otherwise, we must admit that the formation of planets occurs much faster than is commonly believed.

ALMA made it possible to see the details

Huge opportunities for studying exoplanets and protoplanetary clouds have opened up thanks to the installation of SPHERE, the largest optical telescope VLT (Very Large Telescope) and the ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter Array) radio telescope complex in the Chilean Atacama Desert.

The ALMA complex, operating in the wavelength range of 0.3-10 millimeters, corresponding to temperatures from one to 50 degrees Kelvin, unlike optical and infrared telescopes, is able to distinguish even the coldest dust particles and gas molecules of protoplanetary clouds with a temperature of about 30 degrees Kelvin. It is not surprising that the first large project launched at ALMA - DSHARP (Disk Substructures at High Angular Resolution Project) - was devoted to the study of protoplanetary disks of nearby stars. The results of the first phase, completed in December 2018, were so impressive that the Astrophysical Journal Letters dedicated a separate issue to them.

The ALMA telescope captured the protoplanetary disks of about 20 young stars ranging in age from one to several million years with unprecedented resolution. These amazing images were published in a special release from the US National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO).

The images show many complex elements of protoplanetary disks: rings, concentric discontinuities, spiral structures, binary systems. The sensitivity of radio telescopes made it possible to detect features the size of several astronomical units (an astronomical unit is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun, about 150 million kilometers) within structures with a radius of several to 100 astronomical units. What they saw sparked a scientific debate about how and how quickly planets form in protoplanetary disks.

Are gaps in the disks planetary tracks or snow lines?

As an alternative explanation, the so-called snow line hypothesis has been proposed: concentric gaps in the disks are fronts of condensation of water vapor, ammonia or ammonia hydrates, turning into a solid state at a certain distance from the star as the temperature drops. However, it was not possible to prove that the observed discontinuities correspond to the snow lines of the main molecules.

Be that as it may, exoplanets are sought primarily in the rings of protoplanetary disks, especially those of large gas giants.

Scientists believe that the first stage of planet formation - from individual dust grains to an object several kilometers in size - occurs very quickly by astronomical standards. The DSHARP project has demonstrated that large planets like Neptune or Saturn are forming much faster than theoretical calculations suggest. Such planets are often born on the outskirts of systems, at great distances from the parent star.

Spiral sleeves

In 2012, the discovery of at least six protoplanetary disks with spiral arms was reported. The observations were made using the Subaru telescope of the Japanese National Astronomical Observatory on Mauna Kea (Hawaii).

According to computer simulations, such structures could be created by nascent giant planets as large as or larger than Jupiter. Each time, the planet will be right at the tip of one of the two arms and will drag the spiral along with it, moving along its orbit.

In a recent paper published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, a team led by Bin Ren of Johns Hopkins University summarized data from the spiral cloud of the star MWC 758, which had been observed for more than a decade. The curls of the spiral rotated by about 0.6 degrees annually. According to the authors, this corresponds to a giant planet located at the tip of the arm and completing a full revolution every 600 years.

Scientists have also found that the two spiral arms of the protoplanetary disk may be formed not by giant planets, but by dwarf companion stars. In any case, this model better explains the observational data on the young star HD 100453.

"Quiet Havens"

There is one weak link in the theory of planet formation from gas and dust disks. As soon as the embryo of the planet (planetesimal) reaches a certain mass, the dynamics of the disk become insufficient to keep it in orbit, and it must fall onto the parent star.

They are trying to solve this problem using ALMA data. According to their interpretation, inside the disk there are peculiar “safe havens” - orbital levels at which planetesimals can quickly gain mass in a relatively calm environment, and at a much earlier stage of the evolution of the planetary system than previously thought. Calculations of these levels were performed using the cloud of the star AS209 as an example.
