The power of multiwavelength astronomy in action: A research group led by Philipp Weber of the Universidad de Santiago de Chile (USACH) and Millennium Nucleus on Young Exoplanets and their Moons (YEMS) used ALMA to check on a young star, V960 Mon. Beyond the dust detectable with SPHERE, ALMA showed spiral arms of gas that are fragmenting, and have masses that can be progenitors of future giant planets.

This result is remarkable: ALMA has found in the PDS 70 system a cloud of debris which is in trojan formation with a potential exoplanet, which might be another forming planet in a Lagrange point with respect to the previously detected exoplanet. This work is trying to collect evidence for more exotrojan bodies.
