New Insights into Planet Formation: The Enigmatic GJ 3470 b
A groundbreaking discovery in the field of exoplanetary research has shed light on the mysterious world of planet formation. GJ 3470 b, a gas dwarf located about 96 light years…
GJ 3470 b is an exoplanet located approximately 96.5 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Aquarius. It orbits the red dwarf star GJ 3470, which is part of a system that includes at least one other known planet. GJ 3470 b is classified as a sub-Neptune type exoplanet, with a size and mass larger than Earth but smaller than that of Neptune. The planet is notable for its relatively short orbital period, completing a revolution around its parent star in about 7.8 days. GJ 3470 b is of interest to astronomers studying the characteristics of exoplanets, particularly in relation to their atmospheres and potential for habitability.
