A group of astronomers have discovered, from observations made with telescopes in Chile and Hawaii, a group of exoplanets that possess magnetic fields as well as the Earth and five other planets of our solar system. Astronomer Julia Seidel, from the Lagrange Laboratory of the French Coast Observatory in Nice, has led a study published in the journal Nature. See in this article all you need to know about the important discovery made about these p…
Astronomers Find Strongest Evidence Yet for Magnetic Fields on Alien Worlds
Astronomers studying the atmospheres of several intensely heated exoplanets uncovered an unexpected pattern that may reveal a hidden property of these distant worlds. Astronomers have uncovered the clearest evidence so far that some planets beyond our Solar System possess magnetic fields. By measuring atmospheric winds on seven extremely hot gas giants, researchers found signs that [...]
Researchers have identified the presence of magnetic fields in hot exoplanets, revealing an unexplored aspect of the atmospheres of these distant worlds. The study, published in the journal Nature Astronomy, uses data from state-of-the-art telescopes to analyze the atmospheric dynamics of seven gas giants. Discovery of magnetic fields in exoplanets Astronomers from the Laboratoire Lagrange in France, led by Julia Seidel, found clear evidence tha…
Astronomers have found the most solid evidence so far of magnetic activity on worlds outside our solar system. Earth’s magnetic field acts as a shield: it helps prevent cosmic radiation from dragging our atmosphere into space, allowing the planet to remain habitable. Magnetic fields are also present on other planets in our solar system, such as Jupiter and Saturn. However, no one has been able to directly measure the intensity of the magnetic fi…
By measuring the winds blowing on seven exoplanets, astronomers accidentally detected their magnetic field. An unprecedented feat that opens a new way to evaluate...
