Astronomers Detect Potential ‘Second Generation’ Planet Around Dying Stellar White Dwarf

Reported by Universe Today

Zyx: Now, to astronomers detecting a potential second generation planet around a dying stellar white dwarf. That's from Universe Today. They found a Jupiter-like planet orbiting the white dwarf HS 0209+0832 in the constellation Cetus, 270 light years away. The presence was inferred from the atmosphere of the white dwarf, which includes the rare element niobium at levels over 1000 times that of the Sun, suggesting the planet formed from debris expelled by the star during its death. The team used archival data from Hubble and other telescopes to confirm this.
