Context. Debris disks ─ collisionally sustained belts of dust and sometimes gas around main sequence stars ─ are remnants of planet formation processes and are found in systems ≳10 Myr old. Millimeter-wavelength observations are particularly important, as the grains probed by these observations are not strongly affected by radiation pressure and

Context. Debris discs are populated by belts of planetesimals, whose structure carries dynamical imprints of planets and the formation and evolutionary history of the planetary system. The relatively faint emission of debris discs has previously made it challenging to obtain a large sample of high-resolution ALMA images to characterise their

Context. The outer regions of planetary systems host dusty debris discs analogous to the Kuiper belt (exoKuiper belts), which provide crucial constraints on planet formation and evolution processes. ALMA dust observations have revealed a great diversity in terms of radii, widths, and scale heights. At the same time, ALMA has also shown that some

The discovery of infant (<50 Myr), close-in (<30-day-period) planets is vital in understanding the formation mechanisms that lead to the distribution of mature transiting planets as discovered by Kepler. Despite several discoveries in this age bin, the sample is still too small for a robust statistical comparison to older planets. Here we report

We study the possibility that Type Ia supernovae might be produced by binary systems where the companion of the exploding white dwarf is an M-dwarf star. Such a companion would appear as a runaway star, retaining its pre-explosion orbital velocity along with a kick imparted by the supernova ejecta. It might be rapidly rotating, from being tidally

Satellite galaxies that are near to massive primary galaxies in close pairs can have stellar population ages that are more similar to their primaries than expected. This is one way in which close pairs of galaxies show galactic conformity, which is thought to be driven by assembly bias. Such conformity is seen in ages, morphologies, and star
