Scientists have shown that aliens may be hiding in a special buffer zone on distant planets that are neither too hot nor too cold. Many exoplanets, planets outside the solar system, are phase locked, which means that one side is always facing the stars. Orbits and the other side in eternal darkness.
According to the British newspaper “Daily Mail”, astronomers at the University of California found that these planets have a ring around them that may be able to contain liquid water, which is the main component of life, and they call it the “end zone”. .” Where is the line separator. Separation between the day side of an exoplanet and the night side.
Any water obtainable on the cool side of the night might be frozen, but on the bright side of the day it would be too warm to evaporate.
“The day side could be very hot and uninhabitable, and the night side could be cold and possibly covered in ice,” said Dr. Anna Lobo, who led the research team.
Exoplanet eclipses are also more common around M dwarf stars, a type of red dwarf that is cooler and smaller than our Sun, because smaller stars are more likely to orbit smaller exoplanets, which are more sensitive to the forces. Tides of great stars
Since M dwarf stars make up about 70% of the stars seen in the night sky, the gradual closing of exoplanets is thought to be fairly common.
In their study published in The Astrophysical Journal, the researchers wanted to know if these planets had the necessary conditions, such as the ability to hold liquid water, and if so, that would greatly increase the number of planets that astronomers have. Study for a living. extraterrestrial
Using software commonly used to model Earth’s climate, the researchers simulated the climates of a number of gradually enclosed exoplanets with varying temperatures, wind patterns, and radiation exposure, using software commonly used to model Earth’s climate, but they rotated and shrank on their axis to work out the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
