Story summary

A team of astrophysicists led by Kevin Ortiz Ceballos from Harvard and Smithsonian, along with researchers from the University of Oregon, Eugene, has detected a radio signal originating from an exoplanet for the first time. Using the MeerKAT radio telescope array in the Karoo semi-desert of South Africa, they discovered that "bursts" of signal from Beta Pictoris b are likely caused by massive auroras. Beta Pictoris b is a young and massive gas giant located about 64 light-years away from Earth, with a mass 12 times greater than Jupiter's. This discovery marks a significant step in the quest to understand exoplanets beyond our solar system and potentially locate signs of life elsewhere in the galaxy.

A team of astrophysicists have detected a radio signal coming from a planet beyond the solar system for the first time in scientific history, according to bombshell new research. uncertain

team → detect → research

The development is a major step toward discovering the types of planets within in the depths of the galaxy — and where life might be found. uncertain

life → discover → galaxy

The team of astrophysicists from Harvard and the University of Oregon, Eugene, determined that “bursts” of signal appear to be driven by massive auroras from the planet Beta Pictoris b, according to the not-yet peer-reviewed paper. uncertain

bursts → determine → paper

Auroras are created when high-energy particles enter a planet’s atmosphere near its magnetic poles and collide with molecules or atoms of gas. asserted

particles → create → gas

Beta Pictoris b is a young and massive extoplanet — a planet located outside of the solar system — located about 64 light-years from Earth. asserted

b → locate → Earth

The so-called “gas giant” is 12 times heavier than Jupiter. asserted

giant → call → Jupiter

The astronomers, led by Harvard and Smithsonian astrophysicist Kevin Ortiz Ceballos, used the MeerKAT radio telescope array, a powerful cluster of 64 interconnected satellite dishes in the Karoo semi-desert of the Northern Cape, South Africa, to make the discovery. asserted

astronomers → lead → discovery

Once researchers nailed down that the signal was coming from the planet rather than its host star — the star it is bound to by gravity and orbits — they traced its origins to aural radio emission. asserted

they → nail → emission

Auroras look like glowing rays of colored light the the poles of a planet. asserted

Auroras → look → planet

The team found that the strength of the planet’s magnetic field is a whopping 1,250 gauss — nearly 291 stronger than Jupiter’s 4.3 gauss magnetic field. asserted

strength → find → field

This was also the first time the magnetic field of an extoplanet has been measured. asserted

field → measure → extoplanet

They work as protective layers for planets to keep its atmosphere from stripping away. asserted
