中性子星の回りに捉えられた電子は高速で回転するため,「シンクロトロン放射光」が発生する。これが光を出す方向により円偏光となる。
1998 年,ベイリー(J.Bailey)らは,宇宙空間に円偏光が存在することを見いだした。また,アミノ酸(もしくはアミノ酸前駆体)に円偏光を照射すると,一方の光学異性体が他方よりも早く分解あるいは生成することも報告されている。
以上のことから,次のようなシナリオが描かれる:
星間で生成したアミノ酸(前駆体)に中性子星からの円偏光が当たり,L 体のアミノ酸(前駆体)の過剰が生じる。これが原始太陽系星雲中で彗星や微惑星に取り込まれ,それらにより原始地球に運び込まれる。
原始海洋中で何らかの自己触媒的な反応の結果,L体の過剰が増幅され,生命誕生に使われた。このシナリオが正しいとすると,地球外有機物は生命誕生に不可欠なものということになる

COROT was launched by a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonour cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on 27 December 2006.

Nearest star's wobbles could reveal Earth's twin - 29 February - New Scientist Space
"Another Earth may be orbiting the star next door, and we could detect its presence within a few years, a new study argues. A telescope trained permanently on Alpha Centauri should be able to pick up the slight stellar wobbles induced by a small, rocky, Earth-like planet.
Alpha Centauri lies just over 4 light years away and is the closest star system to the Sun. It appears to be a triple system, with two Sun-like stars orbiting each other relatively closely (about 23 times the Earth-Sun distance). The two stars have high concentrations of heavy elements, which is characteristic of stars that are born surrounded by dusty, planet-forming discs."

ESA - COROT - COROT surprises a year after launch
COROT was launched by a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonour cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on 27 December 2006.
"Research into solar-type oscillations is one of the mission’s key objectives. Such oscillations have already been found in two stars that are very similar to our sun - first in HD49933 and then in HD181420. The variations are very weak in amplitude and given their short coherence time (the duration for which a particular wave persists on the stellar surface), they are very hard to detect and measure.

ESA - COROT - Water, water everywhere - on an extrasolar planet
"11 July 2007
Scientists report the first conclusive discovery of the presence of water vapour in the atmosphere of a planet beyond our Solar System.
The discovery was made by analysing the transit of the gas giant HD 189733b across its star in the infrared.
Giovanna Tinetti, ESA fellow at the Institute d’Astrophysique de Paris, and colleagues from around the world, used data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope. They targeted planet HD 189733b, 63 light-years away, in the constellation Vulpecula."

"NASA's Spitzer Finds Water Vapor on Hot, Alien Planet
07.11.07


A scorching-hot gas planet beyond our solar system is steaming up with water vapor, according to new observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.
The planet, called HD 189733b, swelters as it zips closely around its star every two days or so. Astronomers had predicted that planets of this class, termed "hot Jupiters," would contain water vapor in their atmospheres. Yet finding solid evidence for this has been slippery. These latest data are the most convincing yet that hot Jupiters are "wet." "

Nearest star's wobbles could reveal Earth's twin - 29 February - New Scientist Space
"Another Earth may be orbiting the star next door, and we could detect its presence within a few years, a new study argues. A telescope trained permanently on Alpha Centauri should be able to pick up the slight stellar wobbles induced by a small, rocky, Earth-like planet.
Alpha Centauri lies just over 4 light years away and is the closest star system to the Sun. It appears to be a triple system, with two Sun-like stars orbiting each other relatively closely (about 23 times the Earth-Sun distance). The two stars have high concentrations of heavy elements, which is characteristic of stars that are born surrounded by dusty, planet-forming discs."

ESA - COROT - COROT surprises a year after launch
COROT was launched by a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonour cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on 27 December 2006.
"Research into solar-type oscillations is one of the mission’s key objectives. Such oscillations have already been found in two stars that are very similar to our sun - first in HD49933 and then in HD181420. The variations are very weak in amplitude and given their short coherence time (the duration for which a particular wave persists on the stellar surface), they are very hard to detect and measure.
COROT’s discovers its second exoplanet"

ESA - COROT - Water, water everywhere - on an extrasolar planet
"11 July 2007
Scientists report the first conclusive discovery of the presence of water vapour in the atmosphere of a planet beyond our Solar System.
The discovery was made by analysing the transit of the gas giant HD 189733b across its star in the infrared.
Giovanna Tinetti, ESA fellow at the Institute d’Astrophysique de Paris, and colleagues from around the world, used data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope. They targeted planet HD 189733b, 63 light-years away, in the constellation Vulpecula."

A scorching-hot gas planet beyond our solar system is steaming up with water vapor, according to new observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.
The planet, called HD 189733b, swelters as it zips closely around its star every two days or so. Astronomers had predicted that planets of this class, termed "hot Jupiters," would contain water vapor in their atmospheres. Yet finding solid evidence for this has been slippery. These latest data are the most convincing yet that hot Jupiters are "wet." "

Nearest star's wobbles could reveal Earth's twin - 29 February - New Scientist Space
"Another Earth may be orbiting the star next door, and we could detect its presence within a few years, a new study argues. A telescope trained permanently on Alpha Centauri should be able to pick up the slight stellar wobbles induced by a small, rocky, Earth-like planet.
Alpha Centauri lies just over 4 light years away and is the closest star system to the Sun. It appears to be a triple system, with two Sun-like stars orbiting each other relatively closely (about 23 times the Earth-Sun distance). The two stars have high concentrations of heavy elements, which is characteristic of stars that are born surrounded by dusty, planet-forming discs."

中性子星の回りに捉えられた電子は高速で回転するため,「シンクロトロン放射光」が発生する。これが光を出す方向により円偏光となる。
1998 年,ベイリー(J.Bailey)らは,宇宙空間に円偏光が存在することを見いだした。また,アミノ酸(もしくはアミノ酸前駆体)に円偏光を照射すると,一方の光学異性体が他方よりも早く分解あるいは生成することも報告されている。
以上のことから,次のようなシナリオが描かれる:
星間で生成したアミノ酸(前駆体)に中性子星からの円偏光が当たり,L 体のアミノ酸(前駆体)の過剰が生じる。これが原始太陽系星雲中で彗星や微惑星に取り込まれ,それらにより原始地球に運び込まれる。
原始海洋中で何らかの自己触媒的な反応の結果,L体の過剰が増幅され,生命誕生に使われた。このシナリオが正しいとすると,地球外有機物は生命誕生に不可欠なものということになる
