Astronomers have less than seven years to watch a giant planet transit its star before its precessing orbit carries it out of alignment for hundreds of years.
TOI-1355 b's transit chord is moving off its rapidly rotating star. If the measured drift holds, the final grazing transit will occur around mid-2033.
Scientists Race to Observe a Strange Planet Before It Disappears from View
Astronomers have discovered an unusually hot giant planet with a highly stretched orbit, offering a rare chance to study how planets move and evolve. However, scientists may only be able to observe its movements clearly until around 2033. The planet, called TOI-1355 b, belongs to a group known as “hot Jupiters.” These are large gas […]
The exoplanet TOI-1355 b, a very hot gas giant, has an extremely eccentric orbit around a star warmer than the Sun, completing a translation in just two days. Its orbit is evolving and, around 2033, will stop passing between the star and the Earth, making it impossible to observe its transits for hundreds of years.
A research team from Tokyo University has discovered a strange giant planet that orbits its star very quickly and in an unusual way.However, astronomers have only seven years to gain further insights into TOI-1355 b. read more on t3n.de
