British astronomers have discovered a planet in the Trappist-1 system, which is 40 light years away from the country and may have suitable conditions for life. The results of the study were published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters (TAJL).
We are talking about the Trappist-1E planet, which is located in the center of her star residential zone, an area where water can exist in liquid condition.
Trappist-1 is a star that has at least seven planets. Scientists have registered the passage of planets ahead of the star, the existence of an atmosphere and determine the composition. When the planet passes through its star, some of the light is absorbed by its atmosphere, and through the typical details of the spectrum, they can try to determine the chemical composition of the gas membrane.
The data analysis has shown that an exhuman can have a nitrogen-rich atmosphere, which reminds the country.
"This is promising and shows the existence of conditions for life. "If the planet on the residential zone has a really atmosphere, it will have huge consequences for astrology," said Ryan McDonald, the University of St. Andreas.
If the version of the nitrogen-rich atmosphere is confirmed, he said, the next steps will be searching for methane and carbon dioxide gas and modeling the planet's climate, the temperature of the surface and the possibility of liquid water.
"If Trappist-1E is resident, we can only imagine what happened there for the last 7.6 billion years. The older the planet it is, the more likely it could have been developed to be a rational life, "added Matthew Gennj.
