ИСТИНА

Auroras occur when charged particles in a magnetosphere collide with atoms in its upper atmosphere, causing them to glow. Before hitting the atmosphere, the accelerated particles also emit radio waves. J. Nichols had the notion of looking for the radio emissions generated by the auroras of planets like Hot Jupiter, believing that these could be detected by radar telescopes. The idea is to create a vast array of some small antennae, distributed among larger stations across the Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain, France and Sweden. This is the first study to predict the radio emissions by exoplanetary systems similar to those we find at Jupiter or Saturn. Here we suggest that the sources of auroras at exoplanets could be similar to that of the Earth, Jovian and Saturn.
