Scientists at the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canaries (IAC), together with collaborators at the Centre of Astrobiology (CAB) and the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT), have obtained an image of a giant planet of some 11 times the mass of Jupiter orbiting a red dwarf star 40 light years away. These results have been published in The Astrophysical Journal.
