Here we show that the ~10 Myr Beta Pictoris system hosts a massive giant planet, Beta Pictoris b, located 8 to 15 AU from the star. This result confirms that gas giant planets form rapidly within disks and validates the use of disk structures as fingerprints of embedded planets. Among the few planets already imaged, Beta Pictoris b is the closest to its parent star. Its short period could allow recording the full orbit within 17 years.

  1. $^{13}$CO and potential variability in $\beta$ Pictoris b with GRAVITY+

    astro-ph.EP 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    GRAVITY+ observations yield a 12CO/13CO ratio of 91^{+24}_{-17} in β Pictoris b consistent with solar/ISM values and a tentative 1.4% atmospheric variability amplitude.

    astro-ph.EP 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    High-resolution M-band spectroscopy detects super-stellar SiO in TWA 5 B, implying no significant magnesium-silicate clouds and formation consistent with core accretion beyond the CO snowline or gravitational instabil...
