Astrónomos descubren inusual exoplaneta gigante con una órbita extremadamente rara
NSF's NOIRLab

Con la ayuda del telescopio WIYN de 3,5 metros ubicado en Kitt Peak, Arizona, los astrónomos lograron descubrir la órbita extrema de un exoplaneta que está camino a convertirse en un Júpiter caliente. Además de seguir una de las órbitas más alargadas de todos los exoplanetas, el cuerpo celeste órbita su estrella al revés, lo que da indicios sobre el misterio de la evolución de los Júpiter calientes.

Demasiado grandes para ser planetas, pero demasiado pequeñas para ser estrellas, las enanas café más distantes son un ingrediente clave para entender la historia de la Vía Láctea. Por tal motivo, la Investigación del Espacio-Tiempo como Legado para la posteridad del Observatorio Vera C. Rubin será clave para detectar una población de antiguas enanas café que se espera sea unas 20 veces mayor de lo que se ha visto hasta el momento, con lo que será posible revelar los procesos que dieron forma a nuestra galaxia.
