Glossary term: 系外行星

Description: 系外行星,或太阳系外行星,是指位于太阳系之外的行星。关于系外行星存在的理论源于16世纪,就有了,而旨在寻找系外行星的观测研究开始于19世纪。第一批被证实存在的系外行星是在20世纪90年代发现的。其中,Dimidium是第一颗被证实围绕主序星运行的系外行星,它由法国东南部的上普罗旺斯天文台间接发现。这颗系外行星环绕着1995年被发现的黄色亚巨星飞马座51运行。在那之后,人们又发现了数千颗系外行星。

老人增四b是一颗靠近母恒星的亮点。在其周围,我们从侧面看到一个温暖物质盘。

老人增四b

Caption: 这幅图像由两张照片合成,显示了系外行星老人增四b和一个物质盘,它们都围绕年轻恒星老人增四运行。这两张照片都是在红外波段拍摄的。围绕太阳之外的恒星运行的行星称为“系外行星”,内侧图像即为首批被拍摄到的系外行星照片之一。这张照片是利用一种叫做“自适应光学”的技术拍摄的,该技术可以消除地球大气引起的模糊效应,从而使星光不再散开。然后,星光被高度集中,并由一个叫做“星冕仪”的遮挡圈(此处显示为黑圈)遮挡,其周围的波纹是成像过程中的伪影。老人增四b是一颗气态巨行星,质量约为木星的12倍,在黑圈左上方显示为一个小点。 外侧图像显示的是年轻恒星老人增四周围温暖物质盘的热辐射。我们的视线处于这个物质盘的侧面,因此它显示为一条线。这个由气体和尘埃组成的物质盘提供了形成老人增四b的物质。

β Pictoris b 从右下方移向图像中心,22 个月后再次出现在左上方

β Pictoris b的轨道

Caption: 这组图像展示了太阳系外行星(系外行星)β Pictoris b 的轨道运动。这颗行星是每幅图中的亮点。行星的主星被隐藏在每幅图中间的黑圈后面。这样做是为了去掉更亮的主星,否则主星的光会掩盖行星的光。行星轨道侧面对着我们。从这个角度观察轨道,会让人觉得行星是沿着一条直线运动的。 2015年2月至2016年11月期间,β Pictoris b似乎越来越靠近它的主星。之后,这颗行星离恒星如此之近,以至于近两年都没有人看到它,之后它又再次出现在恒星的另一侧。
