Planetas de lava

Los planetas de lava son mundos rocosos que orbitan extremadamente cerca de su estrella, mucho más que Mercurio del Sol. Su periodo orbital dura solo pocas horas o días. Debido a la intensa radiación, las temperaturas alcanzan miles de grados Celsius, derritiendo la roca en océanos de magma. Suelen tener rotación sincrónica: una cara mira siempre al ardiente sol y la otra permanece en la fría oscuridad. Este enorme contraste térmico y las fuerzas de marea ejercidas por la gravedad estelar agrietan la corteza, provocando un volcanismo extremo y evaporando rocas en el lado diurno.

Image: Thick carbon dioxide or sulfur dioxide atmospheres possible on lava planet TOI-561 b
TOI-561 b is a rocky, ultrashort-period exoplanet that orbits its star extremely quickly, resulting in intense irradiation. Recent data suggests this world may possess a thick, secondary atmosphere hovering above a global, molten surface, or magma ocean. Unlike the primary atmospheres of giant planets, which are captured from gas clouds, a secondary atmosphere is generated by gases released from the planet's interior over time. Researchers used the PROTEUS framework, a computer model that lin...
