Astrónomos han identificado un extraño sistema planetario a 190 años luz de la Tierra que presenta un Júpiter caliente compartiendo su órbita con un mini-Neptuno más cercano a la estrella. Esta configuración se consideraba casi imposible. Nuevas observaciones del telescopio espacial James Webb ofrecen perspectivas renovadas sobre cómo se formaron estos planetas.

El sistema, centrado en la estrella TOI-1130, fue detectado por primera vez en 2020 utilizando datos del Satélite de Sondeo de Exoplanetas en Tránsito (TESS) de la NASA. El mini-Neptuno completa una órbita cada cuatro días, mientras que el Júpiter caliente tarda ocho días. Los investigadores señalaron que los Júpiter calientes suelen carecer de compañeros cercanos debido a su fuerte influencia gravitatoria.

Scientists discover unusual inside-out planetary system

Astronomers have found a planetary system around a red dwarf star where a rocky world orbits beyond two gas giants, challenging standard models of how planets form. The discovery around LHS 1903 suggests planets may arise sequentially rather than all at once.

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected an unusually metal-poor atmosphere on the Jupiter-sized exoplanet TOI-5205 b, which orbits a small, cool star. The planet's atmospheric metallicity is lower than that of its host star, challenging theories of giant planet formation. The findings come from a study led by researchers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and Carnegie Science.

JWST discovers water ice clouds on Jupiter-like exoplanet

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected thick water ice clouds on Epsilon Indi Ab, a cold gas giant resembling Jupiter. The finding, led by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, reveals less ammonia than expected in the planet's atmosphere. This challenges existing models and advances techniques for studying distant worlds.
