Outlook is not great for the exoplanet club 67522 b. Over the next 100 million years, powerful magnetic fields and destructive space radiation will continue to eat on a distant planet, reducing it from the current mass of Jupiter to the size of the Neptune. However, these apocalyptic conditions are not the fault of a nearby black hole. Instead, they are what astronomers describe as an Exoplanet’s “caress” relationship to their master’s star.
“I have a million questions because this is a whole new phenomenon, so the details are still not clear,” Ekaterina Ilin, a researcher at the Dutch Institute of Astronomy (astron), said in a statement.
For a long time, the first known “planet with the wish of death” was described by Ilin and her colleagues in a survey announced on July 2, announced on July 2. In Nature;
Astronomers have been studying this Exoplanet and its host star club 67522 for many years using high -tech tools such as NASA James Webb Space Telescope and Transit Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). They already knew that the Hip 67522 was slightly larger and cooler than our 4.5 billion years, but is only 17 million years old. HIP 67522 is also a much more active star than our sun, and usually emits much stronger energy exacerbations. It also has two planets, but the club 67522 B has a faster orbit than her brother and brother, and only takes seven days.
“We have not yet seen any systems like Hip 67522 earlier; when the planet was found, it was the youngest planet that is known to fly its master’s star in less than 10 days,” Ilin explained.
Knowing this, the Ilin team decided to try to take a closer look at HIP 67522 B and contact the European Space Agency (ESA) Exoplanet satellite satellite Cheops. Cheops can direct and observe individual stars, and soon document -confirmed interrupted missiles derived from the club 67522.
“With Cheops, we saw more missiles, a total of 15, almost everyone in our direction when the planet passed the star as it can be seen from the ground,” Ilin said.
This correlation meant that the interaction between the stars and its planet was directly responsible for exacerbation. However, there was a problem with this opportunity: astronomers have long believed that the stars only behave regardless of their host planets. So how could it be possible?
“We find that 15 clubs… 15 times… [indicate] The constant interaction between the magnetic stars and the planet in the system, ”the authors wrote in their study.
Physics also support theory. Knowing the Club 67522 B particularly close orbit, this interaction can be possible if its star has a strong magnetic field. And according to the hip 67522, it is almost real.
Business is so much energy that radiation is high in energy because it is not good at the club 67522 b. The size of the planet is similar to Jupiter, but it contains the density of candy threads, making it one of the wisest exoplanets to ever find. Over time, The Radiation, which is worn by missiles, destroys the wise atmosphere of the planet, meaning that it loses mass much faster than we thought. Over the next 100 million years, the club 67522 b could move from almost Jupiter -sized planets to a much smaller planet Neptune.

The current theory is that when the planet stores energy during its orbit, some of them are directed by waves along the star magnetic field lines, as someone has broken the whipped. When that wave reaches the end of the magnetic field line, it initiates the main exacerbation of energy.
However, much of those powerful cosmic rays are not simply into the deep space, instead, they are directed back to the club 67522 B, six times the radiation than if it was a safer distance.
“The planet seems to cause extremely energetic rackets,” Ilin added. “The waves that she sends along the star’s magnetic field lines starts flashes at certain moments. But rocket energy is much higher than wave energy. We think the waves begin to explosions that wait to take place.”
This means that over the next 100 million years, all this destructive energy will destroy the already wise atmosphere and reduce the total mass of the planet. After all, that atmospheric erosion will be hip 76522 b.
Fortunately, astronomers such as Ilin have a lot of time to continue studying an unprecedented new find. Researchers hope to observe their observations by determining the exact type of energy spent on each exacerbation. Meanwhile, they are going to scan and find similar Star-Planet systems to find out if there are other cosmic death wishes.
