First sight of alien planets

First sight of alien planets 03/23/2005 08:36 PM
David Pescovitz: Astronomers used the NASA Spitzer Space Telescope to see planets outside our solar system for the first time ever. Previously, scientists have inferred the existence of more than 100 planets by detecting a gravity-induced wobble or shift in light in the stars that they orbit. Yesterday, the astronomers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and the Goddard Space Flight Center announced that they directly observed the infrared radiation emitted by two planets 153 and 500 light-years away. (Seen here is a NASA artist's concept.) From the New York Times:

They said directly measuring light from the planets was a major step in the quest to understand what alien planets are made of, because different molecules in the atmosphere absorb infrared light in characteristic ways and allow scientists to compare these alien planets to those in the solar system. Ultimately, astronomers would like to know if Earth, with its ability to evolve and support life, is unique or common in the universe....

Dr. Geoffrey W. Marcy, a planet hunter at the University of California, Berkeley, called the results "the stuff of history books" and added, "With this result, we are closer to understanding our own human roots, chemically, among the stars."

Hubble harvests 100 new planets during a 7-day sweep of the bulge of the Milky Way.. If confirmed it would almost double the number of known planets to about 230. "I think this work has the potential to be the most significant advance in discovering extra-solar planetary systems since the first planets were discovered in the mid-1990s."

Alien Planets Tell Tales With Colors

Alien Planets Tell Tales With Colors 03/23/2005 07:57 PM

Two teams of Astronomers this week discovered the color of two planets by using infrared radiation. This break-through will allow experts to discover what the planet’s surface or atmosphere are made of. This is a major finding. According to Astronomy Magazine,  

Charbonneau's group used the Spitzer Space Telescope's Infrared Array Camera to home in on the light from TrES-1, a "hot Jupiter" zipping around a Sun-like star about 500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Lyra. The astronomers tracked the intensity of two infrared "colors" as the planet passed behind its star, an event called secondary eclipse. The team subtracted the star's radiation from the total seen when the planet was not eclipsed by the star. Measuring the gas giant's infrared radiation allowed the team to calculate its temperature — a sizzling 1,450° F (1,060 kelvins). Charbonneau suspects his group has also found the spectral fingerprint of carbon monoxide in the planet's atmosphere, but, he says, "We're going to go back and get more data."
