Echipa internaţională de astronomi care a descoperit exoplaneta deformată explică că aceasta este asemănătoare planetei Jupiter.
Universul reuşeşte să fie în continuarea un loc în care astronomi profesionişti sau amatori pot să descopere lucruri ieşite din comun. Acesta este cazul unei exoplanete descoperite recent de către astronomi care, din cauza atracţiei gravitaţionale a stelei sale, este deformată, notează
Phys.com.
„Această
exoplanetă este un prototip al unei planete fierbinţi asemănătoare lui Jupiter, explică dr. Drake Deming, profesor de astronomie al Universităţii Maryland şi co-autor au studiului despre această neobişnuită descoperire.
„Acest tip de planete primesc o cantitate atât de mare de radiaţii de la stelele în jurul cărora gravitează, încât încep să semene cu acestea”, a declarat dr. Drake Deming.
Neobişnuita exoplanetă, WASP-121b, a fost descoperită într-un
sistem solar aflat la 90 de ani lumină în urmă cu patru ani de către telescopul Hubble al NASA. Însă, detalii noi pe care oamenii de ştiinţă le-au putut afla despre aceasta au reuşit să îi uimească.
„Planeta este evaporată de către steaua ei până în punctul în care putem vedea atomii metalici interacţionând în atmosfera superioară cu câmpul magnetic al planetei”, a mai adăugat dr. Deming. El a mai precizat că această descoperire oferă oportunitatea de a vedea şi studia unele fenomene fizice unice.
