ASTRONOMERS have unequivocally detected a radio signal from the exoplanet Beta Pictoris b for the first time. The signal originates from auroras, allowing the first measurement of its extremely strong magnetic field.
Radio signal detected directly from an exoplanet: astronomers identified the source and made an unexpected discovery
Researchers from Harvard and Oregon Universities have detected a direct radio signal from the exoplanet Beta Pictoris b using the MeerKAT radio telescope array in South Africa. Experts explained that the signals originate from the aurora borealis and that this is the first time the planet's magnetic field has been directly measured.
American researchers used the MeerKat radio telescope network to study the exoplanet Beta Pictoris b, which is about 63.4 light-years from Earth.
Cosmic Polar Light: Astronomers have detected recurring radio flashes from the young giant planet Beta Pictoris b. The strongly polarized signals speak for auroral radiation and allow for the first time a direct measurement of the magnetic field strength of an exoplanet. According to Preprint, the field strength at the origin of the radio waves is at least 1.25 kilogauss. Cambridge (U.S.A.). Magnetic fields shape how planets with [...] The artic…
