Super-Earths are a unique class of exoplanet in the solar system that are more massive than our planet but lighter than the ice giants, according to NASA. They are made by some combination of gas and rock and can get up to 10 times the size of Earth's mass.
The findings , discovered with NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite and the University of Liège's Search for Habitable Planets Eclipsing Ultra-Cool Stars (SPECULOOS), will be published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics.
How do massive stars – which gush ultraviolet radiation that can limit planets’ growth – end up with planets as big as Jupiter? They steal them, said astronomers from the University of Sheffield.
The researchers published their findings in the peer-reviewed journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society on May 23, 2022. The paper is also available on arXiv .
