⚠️New paper!⚠️ We have discovered a planet, Gaia-4b, and a brown dwarf, Gaia-5b, using the @ESAGaia spacecraft. Gaia-4b is Gaia's first planet detected with astrometry alone and represents the tip-of-the-iceberg of the 100s-1000s of planets that Gaia is expected to detect.
El espectrógrafo NEID del Telescopio WIYN de 3,5 m realizó observaciones de seguimiento cruciales y confirmó la existencia de Gaia-4b, uno de los exoplanetas más masivos conocidos que orbitan alrededor de una estrella de baja masa. 🔗 noirlab.edu/public/news/no…
