Discover many diamond planets

This is the result of a laboratory study by Assoc. Wendy Panero and PhD student Cayman Unterborn at Ohio State University (USA) do.The researchers created the same temperature and pressure as the earth's crust to study how the diamond was made.

>>>First discovered carbon-rich planet

The aim of the study is to find out what happens to the carbon layers inside other solar system planets, and whether carbon-rich solar systems can produce diamond-like planets.

Carbon-rich solar systems can produce diamond-like planets.

GS. Wendy Panero and his doctoral student Cayman Unterborn used what they saw from experiments to build computer models of minerals formed on planets that have made more carbon than Earth.

'Our results show that carbon-rich planets may also include cores and shells like the earth. But their cores are very likely to be rich in carbon, and the shell is also composed mostly of carbon, almost in the form of diamonds , 'Panero explained.

The core of the earth is almost iron, and the shell consists of silica-based minerals. This is the result of the elements in the dust clouds forming in our solar system. Planets formed in carbon-rich solar systems will have other chemical components.

The inner part of the earth is very hot, producing geothermal, making our planet fit for life. But diamonds are very susceptible to heat loss, so the inner layer of carbon-rich planets will be easy to freeze, meaning that there is no geothermal or stratigraphic formation, so there is no magnetic field or atmosphere.

'We think the diamond planet is definitely a very cold and dark place , ' Panero said.
