Rogue Planet Cha 1107-7626 Exhibits Star-Like Growth
Introduction: A lone wanderer with a hungry appetite In the vastness between stars, a rare kind of world drifts unbound: a rogue planet. Unlike the familiar planets that orbit stars, rogue planets roam freely, forged in the same turbulent beginnings of star-forming regions or ejected from their original planetary systems. Recent observations have captured one…

Rogue Planet Cha 1107-7626 Reveals Star-Lized Growth in Formation
Introduction: A rogue planet in the making In a discovery that challenges how we imagine planets forming, astronomers have observed a rogue planet—an object not bound to any star—experiencing a dramatic growth spurt. The planet, designated Cha 1107-7626, is thought to be five to ten times the mass of Jupiter and is currently in the…

Rogue Planet Growth: Explosive Accretion in Space
The extraordinary finding A free-floating, or rogue, planet named Cha 1107-7626 is undergoing an immense growth spurt, pulling in gas and dust from its surrounding disk at roughly six billion metric tons per second. Scientists say this is the highest accretion rate ever measured for a planetary-mass object. The discovery, published in The Astrophysical Journal…

Rogue Planet Accretion Surges Explosively in Space
An international team of astronomers has documented an explosive growth phase in a rogue planet, Cha 1107-7626, a world that wanders interstellar space, unbound to any star. The object is accumulating gas and dust from a surrounding disk at a rate of six billion tonnes per second, the highest accretion rate ever recorded for an…

Rogue Planet Accretion: Explosive Growth Revealed in Space
Rogue Planet Accretion: An Unprecedented Growth Spurt Astronomers have identified an enormous burst of growth in a wandering planet, a rogue world that drifts through interstellar space without a parent star. The object, Cha 1107-7626, is accumulating gas and dust at a staggering rate of about six billion tons per second — the highest accretion…
