An international group of scientists found exoplanet, which is today recognized the most hot.
About this discovery writes the journal Nature.
The researchers note that the temperature of the atmosphere of the planet KELT-9b (HD 195689 b) reaches 4.6 thousand degrees Kelvin (about 4327 degrees Celsius). But it is only on that side which directly faces to the sun of the planet.
Planet revolves around the parent star KELT-9 (HD 195689) with a period of 1.48 days, while the distance between the heavenly body and a heavenly body equal to of 0.03 astronomical units.
According to scientists, the mass of the planet 2.88 times the mass of Jupiter (the largest planet in the solar system), and the volume of 6.75 times.
Shone also exoplanets 13.14 times greater than the Sun and 2.5 times heavier than him.
Its surface temperature is also greater than the sun – it reaches 10.17 thousand Kelvin, and the Sun is 5.8.
