With the great progress in the field of space exploration, our understanding of the cosmos has greatly improved.
Earlier, things that were once thought to be normal have now been proven otherwise. For example, earlier our solar system was believed to be a typical example of a planetary system and that is how it has to be in other galleries as well as where the Sun is the hottest element as a star. and planets revolving around it.
However, data collected from the Kepler space observatory have helped scientists discover something called exoplanets. What makes exoplanets stand out so close to their sun, and some as large as Jupiter.
In a recent study published in the Letters of the Astrophysical Journal, scientists Quentin Change and Billy Edwards talk about the hottest exoplanet, Kelt-9 b. The scientists say that recent studies on ultra-hot Jupiters suggested that their atoms may have thermal shocks due to the presence of optical solvents such as titanium oxide (TiO), vanadium oxide (vanadium oxide). VO), iron hydride (FeH), and other metal hydride / oxygen.
However, they expect these molecules to disperse to temperatures at very high temperatures, leading to featureless spectra in the infrared. The Kelt-9 is thought to be related to this regime and hosts an atmosphere where hydrogen is neutralized by separation and atomic / ionic species.
The exoplanet moves to a star that is twice as hot as the Sun in our Solar System, and at a speed that is ten times closer than Mercury orbits our star. With a radius 1.8 times higher than Jupiter and a temperature reaching 5,000K, the planet is hotter than 80% of the stars in the universe and a temperature similar to our Sun.
Scientists believe that this discovery provides an opportunity to study physics in environmental conditions that are virtually impossible to reproduce on Earth. A study of these planets would lead to a better understanding of chemical and thermal processes, atmospheric dynamics and cloud formation that take place at such planets.
