行星TRAPPIST-1嘅想像圖

TRAPPIST-1,又嗌 2MASS J23062928-0502285[1],係粒超低溫紅矮星[2],離開地球 39.13光年(12.0秒差距),喺水瓶座

馬西矯倫(Michaël Gillon)為首嘅天文研究小組,屬於比利時列日大學天文物理與地球物理研究所[3],用喺智利喇莎娜天文台TRAPPIST (Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope) 望遠鏡,以 transit photometry,發現三個地球大細嘅行星。最裏頭嘅兩粒星係喺宜居帶裏面,或者啱啱喺外面[4][5]。研究小組喺2016年5月號 Nature 雜誌嘅發表;2015年9月至12月嘅觀察嘅研究結果[6]

2017年2月22號,天文學家宣布圍繞 TRAPPIST-1 嘅外行星加多四個。 而令圍繞星球運行嘅行星總數有七個,其中至少兩個,亦可能全部,喺宜居帶[7][8]
