Summary
| Description |
English: β Pic b's orbit is just one degree from being perfectly edge-on. In this movie, twice we see the planet pass behind the coronagraph mask (black circle) that's blocking the bright star, and reppear on the other side. When the planet is unobservable, its estimated position is marked with an 'x'. β Pic b creates a warp in the disk we can see. This system also harbors a belt of rocky rubble as well as another gas giant planet closer in (both not seen in the movie). This movie is a 17-year time-lapse using over 30 frames of data from the Gemini Planet Imager, VLT/NACO, and VLT/SPHERE. |
