Exolunas

Las exolunas son satélites naturales que orbitan planetas fuera de nuestro sistema solar. Así como nuestra Luna acompaña a la Tierra, las exolunas rodean exoplanetas lejanos. Su búsqueda es extremadamente difícil: es como intentar ver un mosquito volando alrededor de una luciérnaga junto a un faro lejano. Aunque conocemos cientos de lunas en nuestro sistema, solo tenemos candidatos prometedores como Kepler-1625b-i y Kepler-1708b-i. En sistemas jóvenes, los científicos observan discos de polvo donde estas lunas aún se están formando. Podrían ser clave para hallar vida, ya que pueden tener condiciones estables.

Evidence for satellites orbiting the brown dwarf CD-35 2722 B has been identified using precise light measurements. While thousands of planets have been found orbiting stars, satellites around objects outside our solar system—known as exosatellites—have remained elusive and controversial. This study presents a strong detection of at least one, and possibly two, massive objects circling this brown dwarf, providing new data on how such systems form and evolve. The research utilized radial v...

Image: Radial velocity study puts upper limits on massive moons around Beta Pictoris b
Radial velocity monitoring of Beta Pictoris b sets new upper limits on potential massive exomoons. While no moon was detected, the data constrains moon masses to 80 Earth masses at short periods and 1 Jupiter mass at longer periods, with future improvements planned....
