Du fer et du titane dans l’atmosphère
Des vapeurs de métaux ont été détectés dans l’atmosphère d’une exoplanète dite “ultra chaude” par une équipe d’astronomes dirigée par l’UNIGE. Les exoplanètes, des planètes autour d’autres étoiles que le Soleil, peuvent tourner très près de leur étoile hôte. Quand, en plus de cela, l’étoile hôte est beaucoup plus chaude que notre Soleil, l’exoplanète devient alors […]
