Astrophysicist from France suggested an interesting explanation of one anomaly of the planets of the Solar system. They are all built in the same plane, but this plane is slightly tilted with respect to the solar equator. The scientist believes that this is the result of "hooligan" behavior of the Sun in the early stages of its evolution. Then it loved to radiate relativistic jets.
Needless to say, all existing in the Universe, the stars were once young and mischievous. Heavenly body, which now behave as befits a dignified and honorable bodies, in his youth a bully hurl, did not care about how it will affect health" surrounding planets. And it is obvious that tracks "party" violent "star youth" are still taken aback by astrophysicists because in any planetary system can be found caused by deviations from the norm.
The sun, it should be noted, in his "teenage" age was not a gift. Most likely, it was accompanied by quite common in this case, disasters, namely the emission of jets. Recall that the jets or relativistic jets scientists call the plasma flows, coming out from various centers of galactic objects - black holes, radio galaxies, quasars and neutron stars. Recently, astronomers were able to prove that such "outrage" is observed in the initial stages of star formation.
In April of this year space telescope Spitzer was able to see through the thick dust veil around nascent star one interesting phenomenon. The study of astronomers was the object of Herbig-Haro-34, which is a very faintly luminous point with "firing" from it only by a jet. This object was seen in the constellation Orion, and the distance from us to him was 1.4 thousand light-years.
Such an unusual view of the observed object testified that in its centre the newly born star. It "new" and have some kind of trouble at full speed, firing all around relativistic jets of plasma. Such jets, consisting of accelerated matter, apparently, always accompany the early stages of star formation.
Their nature is this: as is known, any star is born as the result of gravitational compression protostar clouds consisting of dust and gas. However, with increasing compression of the Central part of the cloud begin to break those supersonic jets. They, by the way, help the cloud to slow down its rotation. Then from the drop down at the young star of the matter is formed drive, and the jets, symmetrically departing from its Central part, make this object from the side like spinning peg-top.
However, in the typical case such "hooliganism" does not last long. Once the compression of a substance reaches a certain values and the star begins to go thermonuclear reactions, stream jet dry up and drive thinner. Traditionally, it was then and the formation in it bunches of different size, which after may turn into planets. However, there are suggestions that even when this process begins, the star still can wrest relativistic jets - the latest and already quite weak.
Numerous observations made using the space telescope "Hubble" showed that some young stars, who already have well-marked protoplanetary disk, continue from time to time "to shoot" such jets, exclusively from areas of its poles. It so happens that these jets differ in weight, the one going from, for example, the North pole could be twice as powerful as that in parallel comes from the South. The result of this non-uniformity is a small displacement of the lights in the direction opposite to the direction of the outburst of the most powerful jet.
According to the calculations of astrophysicists, even in this case, when a small migration of the young stars of the protoplanetary disk as a whole remains in place. However, for this planets "pendulum" not in vain. Modelled after their formation is over, they should be slightly tilted with respect to the equator his "violent" luminary.
These "followers" astrophysicist Fathi Samouni from the University of nice (France) and accuses in creating one anomaly of the Solar system, you are trying to explain for many generations of astronomers. It is well known that all the planets orbiting the Sun, built in the same plane, but this plane is slightly tilted with respect to the solar equator. This deviation is about six degrees. Why did it happen? After all, on the basis of theoretical calculations, such displacement is not supposed to be.
Mr. Nanwani built a computer model of the evolution of the Solar system in the early stages of its development. This researcher introduced the possibility of emission of the Sun uneven jets from their different poles. Astrophysicist also took into account another factor: due to the fact that the locations of the magnetic poles of the star periodically reversed (i.e. North pole becomes the South, and then - on the contrary), it must be changed and the direction of the most powerful emission of plasma.
To test his model Mr. Nanwani spent more than 2 thousand simulations of the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn. These gas giants attracted the attention of astrophysicists because they already about 4.5 billion years contain most of planetary masses in our system, and, moreover, that these giants that largely determine the movement of other planets (at least it was in the early stages of evolution). Results confirmed assumption scientist in 80 percent of cases it is the jets spouting from the solar poles, swung young then a star that gave rise above the anomaly. And the deviation of Jupiter and Saturn, in turn, forced and other planets "soobchite" for those same six degrees.
However, he Fathi Nanwani claims that all this while that model building, which speak only of the possibility of such scenario of the development of the Solar system. But this does not mean, that's the way it was. First, it is not clear emitted whether our star jets with both poles during the formation of planets. But what I saw "Hubble"belonged to the stars, different from our luminary by various characteristics, so the analogy here may not be entirely appropriate.
In addition, it is still not known the mechanism of emissions of these "late" jets in the area of magnetic poles of young stars. And why they asymmetric, is also unclear. Therefore, to name explanation Nanwani not exhaustive - perhaps it was a coincidence, and jets, and swinging stars got nothing to do with. But if the idea is true, it is easy to prove - then similar inclination of the planets should be almost all the planetary systems of the Universe. So work space telescopes, apparently, will significantly increase...
