Drake wanted to aim it at the same two sunlike stars he had observed 50 years ago, Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani, each a bit more than 10 light - years from Earth, to see if he could detect radio transmissions from any civilizations that might exist on planets orbiting either of the two stars.

In May researchers using the Spitzer Space Telescope reported evidence of an infant planet, possibly less than a million years old, taking shape near the star CoKu Tau 4.

This latter feature is upsetting for those who hope that any planets around Tau Ceti support life, because Earth - like planets and terrestrial life are made of heavy elements.

Using data of tau Boo b collected with the Near Infrared Echelle Spectrograph (NIRSPEC) instrument at the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawai'i, the researchers were able to compare the molecular signature of water to the light spectrum emitted by the planet, confirming that the atmosphere did indeed include water vapor.

Looking to resolve this problem, Lockwood and her advisor Geoffrey Blake — Caltech professor of cosmochemistry, planetary sciences and chemistry — were inspired by the recent detection of carbon monoxide in the extrasolar planet, tau Boo b and they wondered if they could detect water in a similar manner.

However, in the case of HL Tau, large planets have already stared to form even with an immature central star.

In addition to analyzing cooler planets and dimmer stars, the researchers plan to continue looking for and analyzing the abundance of other molecules that might be present in the atmosphere of tau Boo b.

Studies with ALMA and other telescopes have yet to detect any obvious signs of planet formation in it, though higher resolution observations may reveal structures similar to HL Tau, which is of a similar age.

He worked with Professor Patrick Young's group to learn how to analyze stellar spectra to find chemical abundances, and inspired by the scientific results, he created two digital paintings of possible unusual extrasolar planets, one being Tau Ceti for his Barrett Honors Thesis.

Geoff Marcy In February of 2000 we took our telescope and spectrograph to Arizona with the goal of detecting the known extrasolar planet around the star tau Boo.

Since December 2012 Tau Ceti has become even more appealing, thanks to evidence of possibly five planets orbiting it, with two of these — Tau Ceti e and f — potentially residing in the habitable zone.

We have already demonstrated a level of capability by detecting the known planet around the star Tau Bootis.

Although no planets have been detected orbiting Tau Ceti as yet, it is likely that any planet found to orbit within the star's dust disk would experience relatively frequent bombardment from asteroids and comets of the size that is believed to have wiped out the dinosaurs and other types of multi-cellular life on Earth.

Planet f initially looks more promising, but modeling the evolution of the star makes it seem probable that it has only moved into the habitable zone recently as Tau Ceti has gotten more luminous over the course of its life,» explains astrophysicist Michael Pagano, ASU postdoctoral researcher and lead author of the paper appearing in the Astrophysical Journal.

«Awesome detection of the planet around the star Tau Boo!

Assuming that Tau Ceti has 92 percent of Sol's mass, such a planet would have an orbital period under 240 days — less than two - thirds of an Earth year — at that distance from the star.

A nearby star roughly three quarters the mass of our Sun, tau Ceti has a complicated history when it comes to extrasolar planet discovery.

«Assuming they are all rocky planets, none of the four reside within the conservative (or pessimistic) habitable zone (~ 0.7 - 1.3 AU) of tau Ceti, a star slightly less massive than the Sun,» Ramses Ramirez, an exoplanet researcher at Cornell University who specializes in defining the limits of the habitable zone, told Gizmodo via email.
