Rare Exoplanet Orbits Two Stars at a Wild 90-Degree Angle

Astronomers discovered a pair in 2018 Brown Dwarf The stars are in a rare system known as a binary holding each other each other. Additional observations show that the binary called 2M1510 is more unique than previously believed.

Researchers say an exoplanet called 2M1510 (EU) B, in a 6-degree polar orbit, opened in orbit with an angle orbital aircraft of brown dwarfs. The discovery of the European South Obventeen (ESO) with a very large telescope (VLT), for the first time, scientists are a strong proof of a “polar planet”, in detail learn On Tuesday, the magazine was published in science advances.

“A planet is not only binary, but also a dual brown dwarf, but also a polar orbit is quite incredible and excited” Amaurs Triage, an astronomer and an astronomer in Birmingham in the UK, in an ESO statement.

From today, astronomers have discovered the planet of 16 laps for work: Exoplanets two stars orbit. However, the orbits of these planets are in the same plane as the binary stars around each other. Before the recent discoveries, scientists only took into account the existence of a system based on a circusy planet in a perpendicular orbit in a perpendicular orbit, as well as the presence of a system based on a diagnosis.

“I am pleased to participate in the detection of reliable evidence that this configuration is available,” he said Thomas BaycroftA doctorate and educator of astronomy and astrophysics at Birmingham University.

In addition to the Pole orbit of Exoplanet, the brown dwarf pair itself is unusually rare. They hold themselves orale, ie orbital roads as we have seen them from the ground. 2M1510 consists of second pair of brown dwarfs known to science.

This two brown dwarfs, triage, Baycroft and colleagues, said that the orbital roads “pushed and pulled,”. This suggested that researchers have an exoplanet in an unusual orbital plane that the probable researchers believe in a double couple.

“We have reviewed all possible scenarios and a planet in accordance with the information is polar orbit on this binary,” he said.

“Discovery … In sense, our observations were serendipitous in the sense that our observations were not gathered to seek such a planet or orbital configuration. So this is a great surprise,” he said. “In general, it is cheerful to US astronomers and a large people, and show what is possible in the interesting universe we live.”
