‘Ringing’ of star leads astronomers to find its birthplace

Munich, April 16: A team of astronomers using ESO’s (European Southern Observatory) 3.6-m telescope have studied the ‘ringing’ of a planet-harbouring star, and have thus found its place of origin.

According to the astronomers, the yellow-orange star Iota Horologii, located 56 light-years away towards the southern Horologium (“The Clock”) constellation, belongs to the so-called “Hyades stream”, a large number of stars that move in the same direction.

Previously, astronomers using an ESO telescope had shown that the star harbours a planet, more than 2 times as large as Jupiter and orbiting in 320 days.

But until now, all studies were unable to pinpoint the exact characteristics of the star, and hence to understand its origin.
