Unique follow-up observations carried out with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope are providing important supporting evidence for the existence of a candidate planetary companion (five times the mass of Jupiter) to a relatively bright young dwarf star located 225 light-years away in the southern constellation Hydra.
Astronomers at the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile first detected the planet candidate with infrared observations using adaptive optics to sharpen their view. Because an extrasolar planet never has been directly imaged before, Hubble's Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer camera conducted complementary observations taken at shorter infrared wavelength observations unobtainable from the ground.
