Exoplanet’s ‘Chemical Fingerprint’ Reveals Distant Birthplace
April 7th 2021, 12:44 pm
Analysis by international team including University of Warwick of the first transiting exoplanet that was discovered has revealed six different chemicals in its atmosphere.
It is the first time that so many molecules have been measured, and points to an atmosphere with more carbon present than oxygen.

Astronomers have found evidence that the first exoplanet that was identified transiting its star could have migrated to a close orbit with its star from its original birthplace further away.
Analysis of the planet’s atmosphere by a team including University of Warwick scientists has identified the chemical fingerprint of a planet that formed much further away from its sun than it currently resides. It confirms previous thinking that the planet has moved to its current position after forming, a mere 7 million km from its sun or the equivalent of 1/20th the dist

Abstract:
University of Warwick physicists set out to find Skyrmions, only to find near-identical object with distinctive qualities that they have named an incommensurate spin crystal
Scientists looked for the signs of the magnetic spin texture in ultra-thin materials only a few atoms thick
Physicists on the hunt for a rarely seen magnetic spin texture have discovered another object that bears its hallmarks, hidden in the structure of ultra-thin magnetic films, that they have called an incommensurate spin crystal.

Search for strange Skyrmion phenomenon fails but finds even stranger magnetic beaded necklace with computer memory storage
University of Warwick physicists set out to find Skyrmions, only to find near-identical object with distinctive qualities that they have named an incommensurate spin crystal
Scientists looked for the signs of the magnetic spin texture in ultra-thin materials only a few atoms thick
Physicists have great interest in the potential of Skyrmions frequently detected by their ambiguous, bulk electrical measurements.
This new discovery could point the way for a new basis for technologies in computer memory and storage
Physicists on the hunt for a rarely seen magnetic spin texture have discovered another object that bears its hallmarks, hidden in the structure of ultra-thin magnetic films, that they have called an incommensurate spin crystal.
