So far, we know the presence of extrasolar planets observed in almost all the same . But no one had ever studied the atmosphere of these planets .
Well you, an international research group coordinated by astronomer Canadian Quinn Konopacky , the University of Toronto has managed and mapped the planet's atmosphere HR 8799c, a 130 light years from Earth.
The planet is a gas giant big seven times Jupiter . L'analisi, made by the high-resolution spectrograph Osiris , the Keck Observatory in Hawaii , showed the presence of carbon monoxide and water vapor in the atmosphere .
calculating the ratio between carbon and oxygen, it was found that the planet was created through the mechanism of growth of the core , that a process similar to that given in the solar system and that has given rise to gas giant planets in the outer regions of the Sun .
