Silicate clouds discovered in atmosphere of distant exoplanet
Trinity College DublinPeer-Reviewed Publication
Astrophysicists have gained precious new insights into how distant “exoplanets” form and what their atmospheres can look like, after using the James Webb Telescope to image two young exoplanets in extraordinary detail. Among the headline findings were the presence of silicate clouds in one of the planet’s atmospheres, and a circumplanetary disk thought to feed material that can form moons around the other.
In broader terms, understanding how the “YSES-1” super-solar system formed offers further insight into the origins of our own solar system, and gives us the opportunity to watch and learn as a planet similar to Jupiter forms in real time.
