James Webb Space Telescope has provided fresh insights into the star system located just at the distance of 40 light-years away from Earth.
Moreover, these new findings show that the parent star may influence the study of exoplanets in the habitable zone.
This contamination might affect the accurate transmission spectra of TRAPPIST-1 b, as well as the other planets in the system. “This flare affected our measurement of the amount of light blocked by the planet. Such signatures of stellar activity are difficult to model but we need to account for them to ensure that we interpret the data correctly,” Lim added.Close exoplanets in the habitable zone of cold stars may have the capacity to host an atmosphere, but a variety of circumstances can modify the nature and stability of such an atmosphere.
