In order to measure their masses, it has been necessary to separate the signals generated by these planets from that corresponding to the star&rsquo;s activity, almost ten times greater.<\/p>\n<p>According to the study, these measurements allow us to test current ideas about the formation of planetary systems. &ldquo;For many years, theoretical models have indicated that giant planets begin their evolution as bodies with a larger size, and later they contract over hundreds millions or even billions of years&rdquo;, explains V&iacute;ctor J. S&aacute;nchez B&eacute;jar, researcher at IAC and co-author of the work. &ldquo;We now know that they can actually reach a size similar to that of the planets in the Solar System in a very short time,&rdquo; he notes.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We still do not know if the system V1298 Tau is a normal case and its evolution is similar to that of most planets or if we are facing an exceptional case; if this were the normal scenario, it would mean that the evolution of planets like Jupiter and Saturn could have been very different from what we think&rdquo;, comments Nicolas Lodieu, also an IAC researcher and co-author of the study.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To achieve the measurement of these masses, the study has required a significant observational effort and the collaboration of multiple observatories and institutions from different countries.
