"It's a very good first step," said Bing Ren, an astronomer at France's Côte d'Azur Observatory, highlighting the simplicity of the birdie-alignment hypothesis for understanding dust alignment in protoplanetary disks.
The new research points a way forward for probing protoplanetary disks, particularly gas behavior. Studying dust organization using existing tools can enable scientists to map a disk's aerodynamic flow.
