Super planet earth's atmosphere beyond 500 degrees Celsius

According to a study published, astronomers for the first time a so-called "super-Earth" the atmosphere is analyzed. Super Earth specifically refers to a rocky extrasolar planets, measuring the earth several times. The researchers said that in trying to identify other planets within the solar system on the road, this breakthrough is no doubt an important step forward. They pointed out that extrasolar planets may exist that we can identify the ecological patterns.
 
The main author of research paper, Harvard - Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Professor James Bu Bien said: "The Department of the outside world in the understanding of these characteristics on the road, we achieved a milestone." Bean, who study extrasolar planet is GJ 1214b, 42 light years from Earth (about 400 trillion kilometers) around the Earth's radius is about 2.6 times.
Astronomers in 2009 discovered the GJ 1214b. As a dim small stars around the operation, the scientists analyzed more easily through the GJ 1214b direction of the edge and moving toward the Earth the star light, extrasolar planet's atmosphere to get Fengyun data. The data related to GJ 1214b chemical composition of the atmosphere, weather and light absorbed by a specific wavelength of the signal. With the European Space Agency's Very Large Telescope in Chile, Bean and his colleagues be able to reduce the possibility of 2 from 3.
Since the short distance between the star, GJ 1214b presence of water on, probably by the form of steam. In addition, the planet's atmosphere, mainly by the hydrogen form, should be a rocky world, but high clouds or mist will block line of sight. Observational data show that Fengyun extrasolar planets is not a "mini-Neptune." It has a small rocky core, the atmosphere is thick and rich in hydrogen. Bean said: "Although we can not fully determine the composition of the atmosphere, but we have an exciting step forward one step, can be related to the possibility of such a distant world, reduced to two, namely, the existence of steam or smoke .
