Planètes océan

Les planètes océans, ou mondes d'eau, possèdent d'immenses quantités d'eau, bien plus que la Terre où les océans ne représentent qu'une fraction de la masse totale. L'eau peut recouvrir toute la surface sur des dizaines de kilomètres ou se cacher sous une croûte de glace, comme sur Europe dans notre système solaire. L'existence d'eau liquide dépend de la distance à l'étoile et de l'atmosphère. Ces planètes ont une densité plus faible que les mondes purement rocheux. Sous la pression extrême des profondeurs, une glace exotique se forme au fond, séparant l'océan du noyau rocheux.

Image: Atmospheric composition of sub-Neptune planets around Red dwarf stars reveals new hybrid class
Sub-Neptune planets orbiting Red dwarf stars are typically categorized into two groups: gas dwarfs, which consist of a rocky core surrounded by a primary hydrogen and helium envelope, and water worlds, which are volatile-rich bodies that formed in the colder regions of their star systems. Distinguishing between these two types based solely on mass and radius is often difficult because their physical characteristics can overlap, making their observed properties appear identical even if their orig...

A new study searched for methanol in the planet-forming disk around HL Tauri but found none. The results suggest thick dust may hide methanol, making its detection difficult. This could mean HL Tau's chemistry is different from other young stars....
