The team uncovered the signature of a planet that had been "eaten" by looking at the chemistry of the host star. They also think a surviving planet around this star may have been kicked into its unusual orbit by the destruction of a neighbouring world. Details of the work have been published in Astrophysical Journal Letters. [ link to www.bbc.co.uk] |
