Deux équipes distinctes d’astronomes ont utilisé ALMA pour dénicher des indices probants de l’existence de trois jeunes planètes autour de l’étoile HD 163296. L’utilisation d’une toute nouvelle méthode de détection planétaire leur a permis d’identifier trois perturbations au sein du disque de gaz qui encercle la jeune étoile : ces perturbations constituent la preuve formelle de la présence de planètes nouvellement nées. Il s’agit là des toute premières planètes détectées au moyen d’ALMA.
