There are carbon dioxide For the first time in a planet outside of our solar system, it was found on a planet. Gas directly observed by James Webb Space Telescope ExoplanetsAll that belongs to the HR 8799 system, from the ground 130 light. CO detection2nd These four giant planets are the same as observations, how remote planets offer clues Round and Saturnby slow setting of solid nuclei. The findings were published In the latest issue of astronomical magazine.
« These strong formations of these powerful carbon dioxide, heavy elements such as carbon, oxygen and iron, in the atmosphere of these planets, » William Balmer, Astrophysics « was the author of an astrophysics and paper Nasa. « If we consider what we know about the star, this is probably an interesting result for the planets we can see directly. »
HR 8799 is a system born for 30 million years ago, and therefore young people are young as 4.6 billion years. The hot, HR 8799 planets are still spreading large amounts of infrared light. This gives scientists valuable information about one star or comparison with a star Brown Dwarfthe period given to large-gas planets that cannot be turned into the stars.
« With this type of research, our hope is to understand our solar system, our lives and other exoplanetary systems, so we can contextify our existence, » said Balmer. « We want to take pictures of other solar systems and see how similar or different from them. From there we can try to understand how strange or how strange our solar system is, or how strange is. »
Carbon Dioxide has been an important substance for the development of life in the ground, which makes it a key target in search of life elsewhere.
Plus CO2nd He joined the small ice particles in the deep cold of space, his existence may light the formation of planets. Jupiter and Saturn, a bunch of a square of a bunch of small icy particles, then gained gas giants and today we are thought to have occurred during a while we have established gas giants.
« There are other evidence that the formation of these four planets, from this sub above, the Laurent Pueyo said in this subheading, » Laurent Puyo, in the Institute of Space Telescope Sciences and paper colleagues, NASA. « How common is it in the planets for a long time?
Unlock James Webb Space Telescope’s capacity
James Webb Space Telescope should also give flowers because the Exoplanetsin is able to do more than an atmosphere composition than the measurements of the star light; In fact, he demonstrated his ability Analyze directly The chemical composition of the atmospheres so far away.
Normally, JWST can barely discover an exoplanet in front of the landlord in front of the host star, according to the great distance separating us. However, on this occasion, JWST was possible by JWST’s Coronits-Instruments that prevent the light of the light from the caterpillar trailing instruments.
« When you look at the sky, he is like putting the thumb in front of the sun, » said Balmer. This setting similar to the sun, allowed the team to search for a wavelength from the planet, which reveals special gases and other atmospheric details.
« It has very important effects of giant planets, » said Balmer. « If these huge planets behave like bowling balls watching our solar system, it is very important to destroy, protect, protect, protect, or understand their formation, experience, survival, survival and land planets. »
