Jupiter chaud

Un Jupiter chaud est une planète géante gazeuse similaire à notre Jupiter, mais avec une différence majeure : elle orbite très près de son étoile. Alors que notre Jupiter met 12 ans pour faire le tour du Soleil, ces mondes exotiques terminent leur « année » en quelques jours seulement. À cause de la chaleur intense, leur atmosphère gonfle comme une montgolfière, ce qui les rend peu denses et « bouffis ». Rien de tel n'existe dans notre système solaire, où seules de petites planètes rocheuses gravitent près du Soleil.

Image: Atmospheric composition of hot Jupiter KELT-2A b reveals chemical history
The hot Jupiter KELT-2A b features an atmosphere containing measurable amounts of water vapor. By observing the planet across five nights, investigators detected water with high certainty. This finding builds on previous research, providing a clearer picture of the chemical elements present in the gas giant's outer layers. While researchers searched for carbon monoxide, the current data remains inconclusive, though hints of its presence appeared near the expected planetary velocity. To determ...
