Simulation of the planet GJ 436 b and the magnetic field linking it to its host star

Strongest evidence yet for a magnetic field on a planet outside the solar system

  • No comments
An analysis of about 18 years of observations has revealed cyclical changes in the activity of the star GJ 436, which appear at times related to the orbit of the planet GJ 436 b and the star's magnetic cycle. The researchers interpret this as an interaction
