Thousands of planets have been detected outside the solar system. With nearly 20 times the density of Jupiter, PSR J1719-1438 b, is the densest exoplanet ever discovered.
Thousands of planets have been detected outside the solar system.
With nearly 20 times the density of Jupiter, PSR J1719-1438 b, is the densest exoplanet ever discovered. It is slightly more massive than Jupiter (m = 1.02 M_J ). The exoplanet orbits its star in a circle of radius 6 × 10^8 m in 130 min. Jupiter orbits the Sun in a circle of radius 8 × 10^11 m in 12 years. What is the approximate ratio of the kinetic energy of PSR J1719-1438 b to Jupiter?
