Kolkata: In a ground-breaking discovery, an international team of astronomers, including an IIT Kanpur professor, has discovered a giant planet orbiting a nearby star similar to our own Sun.
The details of the discovery and the research behind it has been published in the world's leading multidisciplinary science journal, Nature.
Direct imaging of a nearby mature exoplanet marks a significant milestone in the realm of space exploration.
This breakthrough shows the incredible capabilities of the JWST with its unique combination of high sensitivity, infrared capabilities, and advanced imaging techniques.
Such advancements pave the way for future discoveries and deepen our quest to uncover the mysteries of distant worlds.
⁘Previous studies had correctly identified a planet in this system but underestimated mass and orbital separation⁘. With the help of the JWST, the team was able to set the record straight.
⁘Being able to directly image a planet close to us provides an unprecedented opportunity for in-depth study. Dr. Prashant Pathak⁘s work in collaboration with international experts highlights the global contributions of IIT Kanpur in advancing our understanding of space.⁘
Previous attempts to study the giant planet Eps Ind Ab using radial velocity measurements were not successful as the planet's orbital period is around 200 years and the data from short-term observations was not sufficient to accurately determine the planet's properties.
