Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God....
Hebrews 11:3
"Astronomers from the Dispersed Matter Planet Project (DMPP) have discovered three new planetary systems — designated DMPP-1, 2 and 3 — hosting six short-period exoplanets. These planets orbit very close to their parent stars and have surface temperatures between 2,012-3,272 degrees Fahrenheit.
DMPP-1 is a F8V-type star located about 204 light-years away.
Also known as HD 38677, it hosts a compact planetary system with orbital periods of 2.9-19 days, comprising four massive planets: DMPP-1b, c, d and e.
DMPP-1c, d and e are super-Earth planets with masses between 3 and 10 that of Earth. DMPP-1b is a Neptune-like planet with a mass about 24 Earth masses.
“DMPP-1 hosts a really important planetary system with three low mass exoplanets whose composition we can measure,” said Dr. Staab.
DMPP-2, otherwise known as HD 11231, is an F5V-type star approximately 452 light-years from Earth.
Its only known planet, DMPP-2b, is a close orbiting giant planet with a mass almost half that of Jupiter in a 5.2-day orbit.
DMPP-3, also known as HD 42936, is a binary stellar system at a distance of about 153 light-years.
The primary star in the binary system, DMPP-3A, is a slowly rotating K0V-type star.
It hosts a super-Earth planet in a 6.7-day orbit, DMPP-3Ab, and has a stellar companion, DMPP-3B.
“DMPP-3B has a minimum mass at the boundary between brown dwarfs and low mass stars, and is probably an L dwarf with steady hydrogen burning. It is in a 507-day orbit,” the astronomers explained.
“DMPP-3 was a huge surprise, we were looking for a tiny signal indicating an orbiting, low mass planet, but the first thing we found was a huge signal due to a companion star we hadn’t expected,” said Dr. John Barnes.“At these temperatures, the atmosphere and even the rocky surface of the planet can be lost, and some of this material disperses to form a thin shroud of gas,” they said.
“This shroud filters the light from the star, producing clues which allowed the team to pick out the tiny fraction of stars with these unusual, very hot planets.....For example, we don’t yet know if it is a coincidence that in the Solar System, the Earth and Venus are the biggest rocky objects and have the largest fraction of their mass made of iron.”
