Scientists from Istanbul University and University Aqueniz opened the star system CN Lyn.
Unlike most multi -star systems that are formed together, three CN Lyn stars formed at different times. Breakthrough opening challenges the modern theories of planets.
The study was supported by the Council for Scientific and Technical Research of Turkey (Tubitak) and the Coordinating Center for Research Projects of Istanbul University (IU BAP). The study used data from the TESS and GAIA space telescopes, as well as ground observations.
It was established that the CN Lyn star system was formed on the edge of the Milky Way disc, and the third component joined the system later from the galactic gala.
The discovery changes the understanding of how the stars form, because it proves that not all multi -star systems are formed the same.
“When studying double star systems, one of them stood out. New data prompted us to conduct its re -analysis,” Professor Selchuk Bilir from Istanbul University told Anadol.
During the experiment, it was revealed that the third star in CN Lyn is almost 10 times poorer than the metals than others. According to Bilir, this fact contradicts the theories of star formation. “This significant difference suggests that Cn Lyn has formed an extraordinary way,” said the scientist.
“We found that two larger stars” captivated “the smaller in the zone of weak interaction of the Galaxy. This proves that we live in a dynamic, not a static universe. This discovery was first represented in the scientific literature in Turkish astrophysics, which changed our understanding regarding the process of forming stars,” the interlocutor of the agency added.
Bilir said that according to the calculations of Turkish scientists, Cn Lyn was formed at a distance of 50 thousand light years from the center of the Galaxy. “However, her third star was“ captured ”later in a zone with low gravity,” he added.
According to the scientist, two “main” stars of 4 billion years, and the third 12.5 billion years, making it a star Galo. “This star was formed when our galaxy was still at the stage of formation,” Bilir said.
“The third star follows in orbit with a length of 37 light minutes, affecting the movement of binary stars and causing a delay in the light we receive. This challenges our current understanding of how the stars are formed,” says Professor Volkan Bakysh from the University of Acteniz.
Another researcher from Istanbul University Gekhan Eugene analyzed the data of ground and space telescopes. He emphasized that in the scientific literature there is not a single mention of such a system. The scientist noted that the third star is distinguished by a chemical composition, extremely poor in metals and is one of the oldest stars in the universe.
