Neptunian ridgeSpace
•Exoplanets may be hiding behind the 'Neptunian ridge'
78% Informative
The Neptunian ridge is a feature in the distribution of Neptune -sized exoplanets.
It sits between the "Neptunian desert," where there's an absence of planets close to their star.
The ridge marks a critical zone where planets have managed to migrate inward while resisting intense radiation near their stars.
The research was published on Tuesday ( Sept. 17 ) in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics .
Knowing the orientation of a planet is important because it is a factor in understanding any exoplanet migration process.
The team will now turn to the Very Large Telescope (VLT) and its ESPRESSO instrument.
