The red giant will eventually cast off its entire carbon - rich envelope, leaving behind only a small,
hot core, while its lost material spreads into space, ready to enrich
planets that have yet to be born with the key element on which all
terrestrial life is based.
«In many ways, the atmospheric studies we're doing now on these gaseous «
hot Jupiter» kinds of
planets are test beds for how we're going to do atmospheric studies of
terrestrial, Earth - like
planets,» said Thomas Beatty, assistant research professor of astronomy at Penn State and the lead author of the study.
Finally, the
planet - distribution of Brown (2003) is one of
hot giant
planets; CoRoT's results contain to date 5
hot giants which follow approximately the distribution of Brown, and one
terrestrial planet (CoRoT - 7b), visible as a small peak at a transit depth of 0.04 % in Fig. 2.
The team's computer simulations indicate that the
planet's orbit isn't face - on, which constrains its mass to one to 2.7 times that of Earth, implying that it has a
terrestrial composition but its tidally locked day side should be
hot enough to melt lead (Ken Croswell, Science Magazine, March 11, 2015).
«In many ways, the atmospheric studies we're doing on
hot Jupiters now are testbeds for how we're going to do atmospheric studies on
terrestrial, Earth - like
planets,» comments lead researcher Thomas Beatty of Pennsylvania State University.
NASA is particularly interested in identifying
planets one half to twice the size of Earth —
terrestrial planets rather than the gas or ice giants or
hot - super-Earths in short period orbits that evidence suggests exist in large numbers — especially ones that are located in the habitable zone of their stars.
