The star system GW Orionis, which is 1,300 light-years away from us, is very different from the Solar System: instead of the central star, three stars form the center. But what makes the whole thing especially exciting for astronomers: All three stars have a common protoplanetary disk — a formation of gas and dust around stars from which planets can originate. However, this disc was ripped apart by his superstars. In the case of GW Orionis, the gas cloud does not rotate in a plane, but has an inclined ring. Researchers at the University of Nevada explain this crack and hole in the disk for an interesting reason: It could already be a planet orbiting all three stars. If this assumption is confirmed, it will be the first planet of its kind. At the same time, the search for exoplanets will be significantly expanded, because it is also possible to search for such inclined systems. The planet itself has not yet been observed, but from the researchers’ point of view, this is the most plausible explanation for the hole. The other planetless option is a torque rupture for the three stars. However, researchers consider this unlikely. At least the calculations based on observations of the star system contradict this, according to the researchers, and the corresponding data comes from the Atacama Large Millimeter/ Submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope in Chile. More data is expected in the coming months to provide direct evidence for the cause of the crack in the planet’s disk – and hopefully confirm the planet. The latest study is published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. The idea of a planet in the three star system was already expressed a year ago.

Astronomers were able to make an exciting discovery 1,300 light-years from Earth: a planet orbiting a system of three stars. This is indicated by the irregularity of the protoplanetary disk of stars.
