Earth and other planets of the solar system have this radiation belt. It is 10 million times brighter than the largest planet in the solar system.
Astronomers from the University of California at Santa Cruz, USA, for the first time have seen clouds of plasma engulfing the magnetic field of an ultracold dwarf. This object has a radiation belt similar to the structure surrounding Jupiter, writes IFLScience.
Also, for the first time in history, experts have discovered a radiation belt in an object located outside our star system.
“With the help of dozens of radio telescopes, we detected for the first time the radiation belt around an object outside the solar system. This object is an ultracold dwarf called LSR J1835+3259, located in the distance which is 18 light-years from us and has a mass 51 times that of Jupiter.Radiative belt LSR J1835+3259 is quite similar to Jupiter’s, but radio images show it to be 10 million times more massive. brighter than the largest planet in the solar system.
Studying the magnetic fields of other planets outside the solar system is important to determine whether there might be life there, they said.
“Therefore, preliminary studies of magnetic fields and magnetospheres in large objects will improve the necessary skills for their study of planets similar in size to Earth. After all, it is thanks to our magnetic field that life on Earth was given a chance to develop normally,” the astronomers concluded.
Remember that early astronomers discovered a new planet.
