"Wie ein Spiegel": Weltraumteleskop Cheops findet den glänzendsten Exoplaneten

Wolken aus Metall sorgen wohl dafür, dass LTT 9779 b so hell glänzt wie kein anderer Planet, den wir kennen. Dabei dürfte der Exoplanet gar nicht existieren.

Cheops vindt metalen wolken in de atmosfeer van een ultra hete Neptunus

Afgezien van de Maan is de planeet Venus het helderste object aan onze nachtelijke hemel. De dikke wolkenlaag van Venus reflecteert 75% van het zonlicht. Ter vergelijking: de Aarde reflecteert slechts ongeveer 30% van het invallende zonlicht.

Geheimnisvolle Planeten spielen «Verstecken» mit CHEOPS
Mit Weltraumteleskop CHEOPS ist es gelungen, Existenz von 4 Exoplaneten zu bestätigen. 4 Mini-Neptune sind kleiner & kühler, daher schwieriger zu finden als die Heisse Jupiter, die bereits in grosser Zahl entdeckt wurden. 2 der 4 Studien stammen von Forschenden Uni Bern & Uni Genf, auch Mitglieder des Nationalen Forschungsschwerpunkts (NFS) PlanetS.

What happens if you pair up the powers of #Cheops, #ESA's CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite, and #Gaia, ESA's billion star surveyor? Turns out you find a ring around a dwarf planet in our own Solar System in a place where it really should not be!

This is one of the things I love about (space-based) astronomy so much: The potential of cool discovery! The way to use telescopes and their data for something totally unexpected!

Hint of an #exocomet transit in the #CHEOPS lightcurve of HD 172555: https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.07418 - "we find a hint for a transient absorption. If fitted with an exocomet transit model, it corresponds to an evaporating body passing near the star at a distance of 6.8±1.4R⋆ (or 0.05±0.01au) with a radius of 2.5 km. These properties are comparable to those of the exocomets already found in this system using spectroscopy, as well as those found in the βPic system."

Ha avuto successo il lancio del telescopio spaziale CHEOPS e del satellite Cosmo-SkyMed Seconda Generazione https://diggita.com/v.php?id=1648916 #esa #cheops #cosmo-skymed

Le satellite Cheops dans les starting blocks.

La première mission de l’#ESA consacrée à l’étude des #exoplanètes, #Cheops, quittera la #Terre à bord d’un lanceur #Soyouz au départ du port spatial de l’Europe à #Kourou (#Guyane française) entre le 15 octobre et le 14 novembre 2019.

« #ESA is offering #graphic designers and artists a unique opportunity to feature their work on the rocket carrying the #Cheops satellite.

The design will be placed on the #Soyuz rocket’s fairing, the tough outer shell that protects the satellite during launch and as it passes through the atmosphere into space. »
