Astronomers find smallest exoplanet |
Astronomers find smallest exoplanet (Feb 11)
http://physicsweb.org/article/news/9/2/7
Astronomers in the US have discovered the smallest extrasolar planet to
date. The new planet, which is about one fifth the size of Pluto, is the
fourth planet to be discovered orbiting around a pulsar called PSR
B1257+12. The orbits of the planets around the pulsar are liked a
scaled-down version of the Solar System, even though the central stars
in the two systems are completely different.

Now if only they'd get their equipment working and find one around a G-type
star.
