研究人员利用James Webb空间望远镜发现了一个新的行星Kepler-51e,这是探测方法中的第一颗。 Researchers found a new planet, Kepler-51e, using the James Webb Space Telescope, marking a first in detection methods.

来自宾夕法尼亚州立大学和大阪大学的研究人员利用詹姆斯·韦伯空间望远镜在开普勒-51系统中发现了一个新行星Kepler-51e。 Researchers from Penn State and Osaka University discovered a new planet, Kepler-51e, in the Kepler-51 system using the James Webb Space Telescope. 这一发现是通过分析这个系统中另一个行星 Kepler-51d 的中转时间而发现的。 This discovery was made by analyzing the transit timing of another planet in the system, Kepler-51d. Kepler-51e对系统内已知行星的引力效应,在质量和密度上异常低,证实了其存在。 Kepler-51e's gravitational effect on the known planets in the system, which are unusually low in mass and density, confirmed its existence. 该发现在《天文学日报》中详细介绍,标志着利用JWST的中转时间变化所探测的第一颗行星,并对行星形成理论提供了新的洞察力。 The finding, detailed in the Astronomical Journal, marks the first planet detected by transit timing variations using the JWST and offers new insights into planetary formation theories.
