Astronomers of Hawaiian University in Mana found one of the youngest planets rotating around a distant star. This is reported in the article published in the MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY.
Exoplanet 2M0437B was first discovered in 2018 using the Subaru telescope located on the panel of the Mauna-Kea volcano. Astronomers three years have followed her movement and confirmed that it really revolves around the star, and is not a more distant space object. 2M0437B several times more than Jupiter and formed together with the parent star several million years ago. The planet still contains heat that has been mediated during its formation.
The planet system is located in the so-called Taurus cloud (460-470 light years from the Earth), which is the place of active star formation. The planet rotates around the star at a distance, which is a hundred times more distances between the sun and the earth.
According to scientists, observations with the help of space telescopes, such as the “Hubble” NASA and the James Webba Space Telescope, which will soon be launched, can identify gases in the atmosphere 2M0437B and reveal whether there is a moon-concerning disk around the planet.
