A“super-Jupiter” giant exoplanet has been discovered orbiting a nearby star. The observed exoplanet – a planet outside the solar system – is very bright and cold, with a mass more than six times that of Jupiter. The detection is unusual in several ways, including that it shows the f...
planets aren’t the objects that form from discs of material in space. Moons do too. Now, scientists led by Dr. Tomas Stolker of Leiden University and his team have delved deeper into the characteristics of a “protolunar” disc surrounding a “superJupiter”exoplanetabout 500 light-years ...
major planet, planet - (astronomy) any of the nine large celestial bodies in the solar system that revolve around the sun and shine by reflected light; Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto in order of their proximity to the sun; viewed from the constel...
the Sun, so its fitting that we refer to gas Extrasolar Planet (Exoplanet) as Jupiters. When astronomers talk about Jupiters, they are not talking about being exactly like the big planet with a large red spot. Facts A Hot Jupiter refers to exoplanets that have been discovered to be in ...
The newexoplanet, named WASP-193b, appears to dwarf Jupiter in size, yet it is a fraction of its density. The scientists found that the gas giant is 50 percent bigger than Jupiter, and about a tenth as dense — an extremely low density, comparable to that of cotton c...
We investigate the orbital dynamics of an exosystem consisting of a solar-mass host star, a transiting body, and an Earth-size exoplanet within the framework of the generalized three-body problem. Depending on its mass, the transiting body can either be a super-Jupiter or...
Jupiter planet; the C/O ratio is consistent with predictions for a planet formed by core accretion beyond the CO2ice line26. Further photometric and spectroscopic characterization of the planet is crucial to confirm these preliminary indications of the atmospheric C/O ratio and to confirm whether ...
The gas planet orbits its star just 170 light years from Earth. They named the planet Super-Jupiter since the latter possess more or less the same features and characteristics of the planet Jupiter. Nonetheless, in-depth scientific research have shown that the Super-Jupiter is 13 times more ...
