The new British research, however, argues the method used by the Pennsylvania team was only suitable for large planets, and that it could miss small ones like GJ 581d.
但是来自英国的最新研究称,宾州大学研究团队之前使用的研究方法只适合较大行星,所以可能会漏掉如GJ 581d这样的小行星。
The study, by Queen Mary University, London and the University of Hertfordshire, claims to use a more accurate model on the existing data.
英国伦敦大学玛丽皇后学院与赫特福德郡大学联合进行的这项研究称对现有数据使用了更加准确的分析模型。
'The existence (or not) of GJ 581d is significant because it was the first Earth-like planet discovered in the 'Goldilocks'-zone around another star ,' said lead author, Dr Guillem Anglada-Escudé.
该研究的负责人古伊勒姆·安格拉达·埃斯库德博士说:“GJ 581d是否存在意义重大,因为它是在宜居带内发现的第一颗绕其他恒星运转的类地行星。”
'There are always discussions among scientists about the ways we interpret data but I'm confident that GJ 581d has been in orbit around Gliese 581 all along.
“在我们解释数据使用的方法上科学家们一直存在争议,但我相信GJ 581d一直都在绕着Gliese 581的轨道上运行的。”
GJ 581d is believed to be the first planet outside our solar system in the Goldilocks zone around its star – an area not too hot and not too cold for life.
