Does Phailinsiam have a Trojan Exoplanet?

Показать описание
GJ 3470 b, officially named Phailinsiam, is an extremely interesting ice giant, and one of the most interesting exoplanets we've ever discovered. But recently, a potential trojan planet was discovered around it. Does Phailinsiam have a trojan planet?

The link to the study is in the description

also is it just me or is Phailinsiam a really good name for an exoplanet
I love how it sounds, its a lot better than GJ 3470 b

Gonna name a custom Kerbal Space program planet “Geejay”

Phailinsiam is probably my favourite hot ice giant so the fact that it could have another planet sharing it orbit makes it even cooler

I agree that Phailinsiam would be rare, but once in a galaxy is an incredible overstatement, even if these attributes weren’t correlated at all, which the neptunian desert and polar orbits definitely are.

Never expected to live long enough to see a planet being “ice” and “hot” at the same time.

A true defiance to modern physics

I need to make a comment at 7:35 - Lagrange points are halo foci. So if Phailinsiam has a Trojan, it will never be at the same place relative to that planet. It will be orbiting that point - sometimes toward Ph., sometimes away.

Didn't even know this planet existed until today. Thank you

This was so fascinating that I made Phailinsiam and its trojan in Universe Sandbox. Seemed to work pretty well, though I don't know if the program really understands Lagrange points.

I think that it would be cool to see a video on the first exoplanet discovered, 51 Pegasi b

I’m glad you started using your voice instead of text =)
I like hearing you talk. You have a really cool interest I think, and it’s very fun to hear about. I suffer from chronic insomnia and these videos always calm me down. Thanks a billion.

Great timing, currently having a small breakdown and i honestly needed something to distract me

Very interesting planet! Maybe make an update video about follow-up studies?

As I once said, even a planet hostile to life can be worthy enough to be interesting.

If this planet is confirmed, I wonder if the atmospheric stripping of Phailinsiam would actively work to give the hypothetical trojan planet a tenuous atmosphere.

I wonder if these trojan planets are more common around intergalactic stars where there is nothing to disturb them.

In that case it’s not a planet, it doesn’t dominate its orbit.🤷‍♂️
The same reason Pluto is not a planet…


(And for that reason I think that the actual definition of a planet it’s a disaster, I deeply hate it).

imagine we named a exo planet sisyphus because it has a huge moon
