It honours the unsung Indian physicist Dr. Bibha Chowdhuri (1913-1991), whose exceptional research on elementary particle physics and cosmic rays constitutes some of the most pioneering work in Indian science.She discovered a new subatomic particle, the pi-meson, from experiments in Darjeeling, with her mentor D.M. Bose, and published her results in Nature, but did not get due recognition. She had also assisted the Nobel-winning physicist Prof. Patrick Blackett during her doctoral studies in the 1940s.

Such systems exist around other stars too. Astronomers call planets that orbit around other stars <strong>extrasolar planets</strong> or "<strong>exoplanets</strong>".</p> <h3 id="h.p_jJhTbYGP6lZ2">How do we discover Exoplanets?</h3> <p><a href="http://astron-soc.in/outreach/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/system-05s.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-26333 size-medium alignright" src="http://astron-soc.in/outreach/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/kepler_all-planets_may2016-1200x816-300x204.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="204" /></a>Exoplanets are very difficult to find around their parent stars. They are hidden by the bright glare of the stars they orbit. They do not have light of their own and may not reflect enough light to be detected. Towards the end of the twentieth century, observations through space and other telescopes, along with smart usage of image processing opened the way to discovery of exoplanets.</p> <p><span class="im">Astronomers use different methods to detect and study these distant bodies. Exoplanets are predominantly detected by the dip in the light of their star which they eclipse, or by looking at the small wobble of the host star due to the exoplanet. A few have been found by direct imaging. HD86081 b was found by the wobble of its host star. Future large telescopes such as the Thirty Meter Telescope etc., with advanced technologies like adaptive optics, should be able to discover many more such worlds directly.</span></p> <p></p> <p></p> <figure class="wp-block-image is-resized"></figure> <p></p> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div><div id="pg-33271-2" class="panel-grid panel-has-style" ><div style="background-color: #887171; " class="panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-33271-2" ><div id="pgc-33271-2-0" class="panel-grid-cell" ><div id="panel-33271-2-0-0" class="so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child" data-index="7" ><div class="panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-33271-2-0-0" ><div class="so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base" > <div class="siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget"> <p></p> <h3>The HD 86081 Planetary System</h3> <p><a href="http://astron-soc.in/outreach/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/system-05s.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-26233 alignnone" src="http://astron-soc.in/outreach/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/system-05s-300x270.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="360" /></a><br /> </p> <p>Location of this system in the sky:</p> <table style="height: 50px;" width="325px"> <tbody> <tr> <td><strong>R.A.</strong><br /> 09h 56m 05.92s</td> <td><strong>Dec.</strong><br /> -03° 48" 30.3"</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>Click this link to <a href="http://www.wikisky.org/?ra=9.934971406718335&de=-3.8086876630572353&zoom=9&show_grid=1&show_constellation_lines=1&show_constellation_boundaries=1&show_const_names=0&show_galaxies=1&show_box=1&box_ra=9.934978&box_de=-3.808427&box_width=50&box_height=50&img_source=DSS2">see it on Wikisky</a>.</p> </div> </div></div></div></div><div id="pgc-33271-2-1" class="panel-grid-cell" ><div id="panel-33271-2-1-0" class="so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child" data-index="8" ><div class="panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-33271-2-1-0" ><div class="so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base" > <div class="siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget"> <p></p> <h3 id="h.p_jJhTbYGP6lZ2">The star</h3> <p>About 340 light years away from us, the star <b>HD 86081</b> is slightly hotter, larger and older than our Sun. It is a yellow-white dwarf star in the constellation Sextans. It is about 20% bigger and more massive than our Sun at 1.22 and 1.21 solar units respectively. It has surface temperature of 6028 K thus giving it its yellowish colour. At an apparent visual magnitude of 8.7 it should be easily visible in binoculars and small telescopes. Seeing its companion is however not such an easy task</p> <h3 id="h.p_jJhTbYGP6lZ2">The exoplanet</h3> <p><b>HD 86081 b</b> is a lonely world orbiting around its star. It was discovered on April 17, 2006 using the 10-meter class W. M. Keck telescope. No other sibling of this planet has been detected yet.</p> <p>This exoplanet appears to be similar to the planet Jupiter in size and mass, but unlike the cool Jupiter, this world is so hot that gold and even iron would melt on it. It orbits very close to it's star and takes only two Earth days for completing a revolution around its star i.e. a year on the exoplanet is two Earth days long!</p> <p>This giant planet, made entirely of gas, is "tidally locked" which means only one side of it always faces the star. At present we don't know anything about its chemical composition and weather but such a giant planet, extremely close to its parent star is a wonder for us.<span class="im"><br /> </span></p> <p></p> <p></p> <figure class="wp-block-image is-resized"></figure> <p></p> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div><div id="pg-33271-3" class="panel-grid panel-has-style" ><div style="background-color: #b0bec5; " class="panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-33271-3" ><div id="pgc-33271-3-0" class="panel-grid-cell" ><div id="panel-33271-3-0-0" class="so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child" data-index="9" ><div class="panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-33271-3-0-0" ><div class="so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base" > <div class="siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget"> <h3 id="h.p_jJhTbYGP6lZ2" style="text-align: center;">Resources for Teachers and Science Communicators</h3> <p>Help from all teachers and science communicators is welcome in publicising and running the contest.
