HK Tauri system located some 450 light-years from Earth

The two stars that make up the HK Tauri system located some 450 light-years from Earth in the constellation Taurus, are as young as five million years distant and about 58 billion kilometers. B. Saxton (NRAO / AUI / NSF); K. Stapelfeldt et al. (NASA / ESA Hubble)

Very good image resolution has also allowed astronomers to measure the misalignment of the two discs that difference exceeds 60 degrees. One of at least two disks does not lie in the orbital plane of the two stars: it has a large gap in this alignment. This information is important because astronomers believe that because of this misalignment, the planets that form are likely to have a very eccentric and highly inclinée.Ce orbit that will not facilitate their detection, a problem qu'auront resolve scientists in a few million years.

Until then, it will look for other factors that might explain the orbital eccentricities of some newly discovered planets. For example, the giant that puts 80,000 years to circle its star ! "The alignment discs defects can not account for all the eccentricity of the orbits of extrasolar planets. All the pieces of the puzzle has not yet been collected, which is a challenge to say the least interesting to meet ! " Eric Jensen concludes.
