'Evolution of massive exoplanets': Indian scientists discover giant alien planet 13 times bigger than Jupiter

India TV News  

A team of scientists headed by Professor Abhijit Chakraborty of the Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad has discovered the densest alien planet, which is 13 times bigger than Jupiter. The densest alien planet, 13 times larger than Jupiter, has been discovered by an international group of researchers led by Professor Abhijit Chakraborty of the Physical Research Laboratory in Ahmedabad. According to a press release issued by the Indian Space Research Organization, the planet's location in the transition mass range between massive giant planets and low-mass brown dwarfs sets it apart from other discoveries. One of the largest and densest giant planets, the newly discovered exoplanet TOI 4603b orbits very close to its host star, less than one tenth the distance between our Sun and Earth.
