Austin – causes a planet called by “hot Jupiter” a problem with its solar neighbor.
The hip 67522 B by scientists, this planet is 415 light -years from Earth. It is one of the few discovered planets that are less than 100 million years old.
In a recent study conducted by the Netherlands Institute of Wireless Astronomy (ASTRON), scientists discovered that the planet, which is located near its star, is shrinking.
The planet is just a smaller boy than Jupiter and completes its orbit in just seven days. Scientists believe that due to its size and narrow orbit, it causes his star to dismantle.
The star emanates from giant solar torches, we have no danger here on Earth, which actually tears parts of the planet.
Ekaterina Ilin, astronomical physicist in Astron, spoke to Associated Press about what happened.
Eileen said: “What we notice in this young young man is very close to the planet is that it is moving across the magnetic field of the star and fits it.” “So, it is heading to a wave that can travel, because it is very close to its star, it can travel to the star and cause great explosions within this magnetic field. What is very cool about this, this means that the planet is in a way that roasts itself, you can say.”
The researchers used data from the European Space Agency and Exoplanet EXPLANET (TESS) questionnaire in NASA to monitor the solar reaction. They published the results they reached in the number of this month from nature.
According to NASA, The star around the planet is young and vulnerable to solar energy manipulation.
“What will happen in the long term on the long -term planet is that it will lose most of the faces about what is from the cosmic standpoint very short, only a few hundred years. So in a way that causes its torment,” said Eileen.
According to NASA, the continuous damage to the planet’s atmosphere can reduce the size of Neptune.
The world team is now planning to take this discovery and use it to find similar reactions all over the universe.
“This is the first time that we see it very clearly. It is very surprising because it is at least a hundred times stronger than the theory expects. So we now need to take into account this type of interaction if we want to know what is happening to the atmosphere of the planets around any young star,” Eileen said.
