Imagen de Exoplanet HIP 65426 B en infrarrojo cercano y medio

Nota del editor: Los hallazgos informados aquí se basan en resultados preliminares que no se han compartido formalmente con la comunidad científica a través de la publicación revisada por pares.

Esta imagen muestra el exoplanet HIP 65426 B en diferentes bandas de la luz infrareada, como se ve desde el James Webpope: Purple: Purple muestra el space NIRCAM: PuRISCOME: PURSECO DEL NIRCAM ESCOMPLE: PUSCO DEL NIRCAM ASCUESTA: PURSECO DEL NACTAME: PUSCA DE LA SAPEPE: PURSECO THE NIRCAM ASUNTA EN Vista del instrumento a 3.00 micras, el azul muestra la vista del instrumento nircam a 4.44 micras, el amarillo muestra la vista del instrumento Miri a 11.4 micras y el rojo muestra la vista del instrumento Miri a 15.5 micras. Estas imágenes se ven diferentes debido a las formas en que los diferentes instrumentos Webb capturan la luz. Un conjunto de máscaras dentro de cada instrumento, llamado coronagrafo, bloquea la luz de la estrella del anfitrión para que se pueda ver el planeta. La pequeña estrella blanca en cada imagen marca la ubicación de la HIP 65426 host Star, que se ha restado utilizando los coronagraphs y el procesamiento de imágenes. Las formas de la barra en las imágenes de Nircam son artefactos de la óptica del telescopio, no objetos en la escena.

About The Object
Object Name A name or catalog number that astronomers use to identify an astronomical object.
Object Description The type of astronomical object.
R.A. Position Right ascension – analogous to longitude – is one component of an object's position.
Dec. Position Declination – analogous to latitude – is one component of an object's position.
Constellation One of 88 recognized regions of the celestial sphere in which the object appears.
Distance The physical distance from Earth to the astronomical object. Distances within our solar system are usually measured in Astronomical Units (AU). Distances between stars are usually measured in light-years. Interstellar distances can also be measured in parsecs.
Dimensions The physical size of the object or the apparent angle it subtends on the sky.
