new planets in other solar systems discovered to be 32 system – show bending, as are planets – life outside the USA?

32 new planets were discovered in 2009

The smallest is five times as large as the Earth

HD 80 606 b is a superjovian planets (Jupiter, Eccentric) 190 light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. The planet orbits the star HD 80 606 was in April 2001 by a team of Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz discovered led. Based on its mass, at 4 times that of Jupiter, it is a gas giant. As the planet transits its star, its radius is determined to be 73,560 km (slightly larger than Jupiter).

The planet has wild fluctuations in the weather as it orbits its star. Computer models predict the planet is heating up 555 ° C (1000 ° F) in just a few hours, triggering "Shock Wave storms with winds that move faster than the speed of sound

European astronomers have so far discovered 32 previously unknown plant revolve around other stars than our sun. The number of eksoplanets is then up to over 400 at the moment.

The smallest of the newly discovered eksoplanets is about 5 times as large as the Earth, while the largest is about 5 times larger than our solar system planet Jupiter, the largest plant is in our own solar system.

This was applied to a declaration by the European Space Agency astronomers revealed this Monday.

The astronomers found that look more than 40 percent of stars like our Sun have planets with small masses.

The new observations, astronomers have a great insight into the diversity of planetary systems. Nuno Santos, one of the project researchers found that this helps us understand how planets form-De nye observasjonene har stor Gitt astronomers innsikt i planetsystemets mangfold.

The astonomers used HARPS, a specially developed device at the European Observatory in Chile for the matching of the new eksoplanets.
This instrument gives researchers the ability to size and mass of the objects to calculate observed and discovered in the universe.

HARPS WEBSITE

HARPS is a spectrometer devoted to the search for extrasolar planets using the technique of precise radial velocity measurements. HARPS is developed by a consortium led by the Geneva Observatory. It is installed at the Coude room of the 3.6 meter telescope at La Silla, with an optical fiber link to the Cassegrain focus.

He has a background as a civil engineer and geoscientist. He has above all in the oil and gas industry in the mid-1980s worked. He has written a few fictional novels as well as the author of some professional literature in the oil and gas sector, he is now an editor of some web pages.

Paul Butler, co-discoverer of Planet Steve Vogt, co-discoverer of planet, astronomers announced they have discovered a planet earth, as to insist that the key conditions required for life support could. The new planet is located right in the middle, which as of the habitable zone, or Goldilocks (Gliese 581 g), have found, in contrast to the nearly 500 planets astronomers outside the solar system called Earth. It is also in the galactic neighborhood of the earth, suggesting that many Earth-like planets circle other stars. Astronomers say the earth is not too far from its star, not too close and might contain liquid water.
