Discover the planet 'hell' in Neptune desert

A planet 23 times the mass of Earth and a terrible temperature - 1,111 degrees Celsius - has been found on the edge of the Neptune desert of a star like the Sun.

A planet 23 times the mass of Earth and a terrible temperature - 1,111 degrees Celsius - has been found on the edge of the "Neptune desert" of a star like the Sun.

NASA's " Alien Hunter" TESS has identified a new world orbiting TOI-132, a type G dwarf star about 526 light-years from Earth. TOI-132 is 6 billion years old and is considered by scientists to be more like our Sun, with a slightly smaller size.

The newly discovered planet is spinning in an area called the "Neptune Desert" of the parent star. Neptune is a space of space near the parent star, which contains the barren worlds of Neptune's size, but much hotter.

The team, led by Dr. Matias Diaz from the University of Chile, combined data from TESS with data collected from radial velocity measurement using the HARPS planetary survey tool at the ESO Observatory (Chile). to portray a strange planet they named TOI-132b.

TOI-132b has 1 year just as long as 2.11 Earth days because of its close proximity to the star. The planet is 23 times heavier and has a radius of about 3.43 times that of Earth. Its surface temperature is like a "hell" : 1,111 degrees Celsius!

According to Dr. Diaz, the new planet can help them perfect the planet's evolutionary and evolutionary models, thereby finding a key to understanding more about the mysterious Neptune deserts. They are also looking for more planets orbiting the star mother TOI-132.

The research will be fully published in the upcoming issue of the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
