SUN/STAR blasts alien planet with X-RAY attack, did ELENIN meet same fate?
This is interesting news to note, how distant STAR/SUN blasts alien planet with X-rays 100,000 times more powerful than what the Earth receives from the sun, a new study has found.
Did ELENIN meet the same FATE?

Star Blasts Alien Planet With X-Ray Attack

A nearby star is drubbing its close-orbiting planet with a barrage of X-rays 100,000 times more powerful than what the Earth receives from the sun, a new study has found.
That intense, high-energy radiation is blasting about 5 million tons of matter from the gigantic planet into space every second, researchers said. They made the observations using NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory and the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile.
“This planet is being absolutely fried by its star,” said study lead author Sebastian Schroeter, of the University of Hamburg in Germany, in a statement. “What may be even stranger is that this planet may be affecting the behavior of the star that is blasting it.” [Illustration and video of the planet-blasting star]
A nearby alien solar system
The star, which is located about 880 light-years from Earth, is known as Corot-2a. Optical and X-ray data suggest that Corot-2a is between 100 million and 300 million years old, meaning it’s fully formed, researchers said.
The star’s one known planet, called Corot-2b, was discovered in 2008 by the French Space Agency’s Convection, Rotation and planetary Transits (Corot) satellite. Corot-2b is about three times as massive as Jupiter, and it orbits very close to its parent star — just 3 percent of the Earth-sun distance (which is 93 million miles, or 150 million kilometers).
The new Chandra observations show that the star is surprisingly active, with bright X-ray emission generated by powerful magnetic fields. Such strong activity is usually found in much younger stars, researchers said. [The Strangest Alien Planets]
The huge, close-in alien planet may be playing a role.
“Because this planet is so close to the star, it may be speeding up the star’s rotation and that could be keeping its magnetic fields active,” said study co-author Stefan Czesla, also from the University of Hamburg. “If it wasn’t for the planet, this star might have left behind the volatility of its youth millions of years ago.”
A companion star?
Other observations suggest that Corot-2a might have a stellar companion that orbits at about 1,000 times the Earth-sun distance. Instruments have not picked up an X-ray signal from this star — perhaps because it does not have a close-orbiting planet to kick it into high gear, researchers said.
Corot-2b appears to be unusually inflated for a planet in its position. That could be another result of the X-ray barrage, researchers said, but they’re not sure yet.
“We’re not exactly sure of all the effects this type of heavy X-ray storm would have on a planet, but it could be responsible for the bloating we see in Corot-2b,” Schroeter said. “We are just beginning to learn about what happens to exoplanets in these extreme environments.”
The results were published in the August issue of the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics.
