GG Tau A System

Kumari Sonali

GG Tau A System:

Researchers from the National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER) in Odisha, studied a unique triple-star system called GG Tau A.

  • GG Tau A System is a unique triple-star system which is located 489 light-years away from Earth.
  • The system is young – 1 to 5 million years old, which makes it perfect for studying the early stages of planet formation.
  • Around these stars is a disk made of gas and dust, which is where planets begin to form.
  • The three stars in GG Tau A interact with each other and affect the disk of gas and dust around them, making it harder to predict how planets might form.
  • The forces between the stars could cause the disk to behave differently than in a system with just one star, unlike our solar system.
  • This makes GG Tau A, a perfect system to study how planets can form in more complicated, multi-star environments.
