From Jovian to mini-Neptunian. The evolution of TOI-1430 b described in the study: “The GAPS Programme at TNG. LXV. Precise density measurement of TOI-1430 b, a young planet with an evaporating atmosphere” of D. Nardiello (UniPD, INAF-OAPD)
Young exoplanets, that is, those orbiting stars no older than a few hundred million years, are of significant scientific interest for studying planetary formation and the processes influencing the early evolution of planets. However, the intense magnetic activity of young stars generates signals that can obscure or mimic those linked to the presence of planets, making their detection and characterization
