Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) Gemini South's IGRINS Detects Surprising Signatures in Dynamic Atmosphere of Exoplanet WASP-121b /articles/gemini-south-s-igrins-detects-surprising-signatures-in-dynamic-atmosphere-of-exoplanet-wasp-121b/?sc=rsin /articles/gemini-south-s-igrins-detects-surprising-signatures-in-dynamic-atmosphere-of-exoplanet-wasp-121b/?sc=rsin Thu, 30 Jan 2025 20:30:13 EST Using the visiting IGRINS instrument on the Gemini South telescope, a team of astronomers examined the atmosphere of ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-121b and found hints that it may have formed much closer to its star than previously believed possible. This discovery was uniquely enabled by IGRINS's ability to simultaneously detect both metallic and icy chemical signatures, a feat typically accomplished using two different instruments.

Este descubrimiento fue posible gracias a la capacidad de IGRINS para detectar simultaneamente firmas quimicas metalicas y heladas, una hazana que se puede conseguir con dos instrumentos distintos.

Rubin de NSF-DOE, que financian de manera conjunta la Fundacion Nacional de Ciencias de Estados Unidos y la oficina de Ciencias del Departamento de Energia de Estados Unidos, muy pronto sera testigo de las explosiones de millones de estrellas moribundas. Los cientificos utilizan la luz de estos eventos para medir las distancias cosmicas y estudiar los efectos de la energia oscura en la expansion del Universo. A lo largo de los 10 anos de duracion de la Investigacion del Espacio-Tiempo como Legado para la Posteridad, Rubin podra cambiar nuestra comprension acerca de como y cuando se formo el Universo.
