VHS J1256–1257

[2][11] In 2022, a continuous radio emission from the radiation belts surrounding VHS J1256–1257 was detected.

[7][18] Later studies with the Hubble space telescope have yielded even higher brightness variability of 33-37% without a definite period, indicating a presence of both spots and waves.

The reaction works in both ways, meaning that methane reacts with water and releases hydrogen and carbon monoxide.

[21] The JWST observed the planet in 2022 by taking spectra at a wavelength of 1-20 μm with the instruments NIRSpec and MIRI.

The grain size and composition of the silicate clouds in VHS 1256 b will be modelled in the future.

[18] Observations with NIRSpec detected several molecules, as well as several carbon and oxygen isotopes in the atmosphere of VHS 1256 b.
