DTM

Welcome

Carnegie Trip Map Scientists at DTM bring the perspective of several disciplines to broad questions about nature. DTM's name comes from its original role to chart the Earth's magnetic field. This goal was largely accomplished by 1929. Since then, DTM has evolved to reflect the growing multi- disciplinary nature of the Earth, planetary, and astronomical sciences. Today, the historic goal remains to understand the physical Earth and the universe that is our home.

Anglada and Colleagues Discover Youngest Exoplanet

BD201790

M.M. Hernán Obispo/ Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Carnegie Fellow Guillem Anglada, along with colleagues from Universidad Complutense de Madrid, has discovered a new extrasolar planet around the very active young star BD+20 1790. The star is an orange K5V, slightly less massive than the Sun, and has unusually high levels of activity, displaying recurrent flares and evidence of large protuberances extending several stellar radii from its surface. The group detected the planet via the spectroscopic method, by measuring the Doppler shift on the star induced by an orbiting low-mass companion. BD+20 1790 is estimated to be between 20 and 60 million years old—the youngest main-sequence star with a candidate planetary companion.
