Russian astronomers have discovered another planet in the Alpha Centauri system
According to scientists, it is located outside the so called zone of life.
St. Petersburg astronomers have discovered a new planet near the nearest star to the Sun, Alpha Centauri.
This was announced at the scientific conference Journeys 2014, which is being held at the Pulkovo Observatory.
The observatory staff could not see it through the telescope, but they managed to mathematically calculate its possible location.
According to their data, the planet is located outside the zone of life — the range of distance from the star at which water can be on the planet without freezing or evaporating.
"We believe that the planet can be located at a distance of 80 astronomical units (distances from the Earth to the Sun) and orbits around the center of a binary star at a speed of one revolution per 100 years," Ivan Shevchenko, head of the laboratory of dynamics of planets and small bodies of the observatory, told ITAR TASS.
This is the second planet in the Alpha Centauri system.
The first was discovered in 2012 by scientists of the European Southern Observatory.
In just 10 years, astronomers of the world have discovered 1,791 planets in 110 extrasolar planetary (exoplanetary) systems.
Basically, new planets are discovered by the method of transits - by observing the passage of a planet through the disk of a star.
It was first used in 1639 by Jeremiah Horok in England, who observed the transit of Venus across the disk of the Sun.
In 1952, Otto Stuwe proposed using this method to discover planets around other stars.
There is also a method of calculations by analyzing the disturbances exerted by other planets on the star, and using other mathematical methods without direct observation.
It was first used by the Frenchman Urban Liverier in 1846, having calculated the orbit of Neptune.
