Abstract

India has achieved a landmark in astronomical research by uncovering critical details about GG Tau A, a rare triple-star system approximately 489 light-years away. Spearheaded by Dr. Liton Majumdar at NISER, Odisha, the discovery sheds light on how planets form under complex gravitational conditions. This research not only elevates India’s stature in global astrophysics but also contributes significantly to the understanding of planetary evolution in multi-star environments.
