An international team of astronomers from the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has discovered a Venus-shaped planet. LHS 475 b is a red dwarf that orbits a crimson dwarf 40 mild- instances from Earth inside the course of the octant constellation. This is reported in the preprint published in the arXiv repository.
LHS 475 b was identified with NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), which explores exoplanets by transit. Transit occurs when a large celestial body passes through the background of the star's disk, expressed by a decrease in light curves. Approximately 6,400 candidate exoplanets have currently been identified, of which 3,032 have been confirmed. In the case of LHS 475 b, the planetary nature of the signal was confirmed through terrestrial observations using the M Earth-South telescope in Chile.
The compass of LHS 475 b is0.955 of the Earth's compass and revolves around the parent star in48.7 hours, being at a distance of0.02 astronomical units from it. It is 15 times closer to the sun than to Mercury. The equilibrium temperature of the planet's surface, which does not take into account the heat of the underground and the influence of the atmosphere, is 587 Kelvin. Although its mass could not be determined, most likely it is rocky and has a structure similar to the interior of the Earth.
