An international team of researchers has made near-infrared polarized light observations of three known interacting twin-disk systems, furthering our understanding of how neighboring stars influence planet-forming disks.
Some of the brightest objects in the sky are called blazars. They consist of a supermassive black hole feeding off material swirling around it in a disk, which can create two powerful jets perpendicular to the disk on each ...
