Soto，a 25yearold Ph.D.student in sciences at the University of Chile，worked for eight months using two telescopes at the La Silla Observatory，about 370 miles north of Santiago.Last November ， she discovered the planet now bearing the designation HD 110014c and her work has now been published in a journal of the London Royal Astronomical Society.The discovery of planets orbiting red giant stars is “rare”，with only five such planets located around stars of that magnitude to date， she told EFE. HD 110014c orbits its star at a distance about sixtenths the distance from the Sun to the Earth—or about the distance between Venus and the Sun.“It's like imagining a planet three times bigger than Jupiter with the orbit of Venus around the Sun，” she said，adding that the red giant star is about twice the size of the Earth's Sun. Another planet had already been discovered orbiting the star，and now Soto's work has added a second planet to that solar system.To find the planet，she used the socalled radial velocity (径向速度) method，which consists of measuring the slight jiggling (晃动) movement of a star as a planet orbits around it，given that the planets themselves send only a very weak signal and are quite difficult to detect on their own. “The planets are very weak compared to the stars and you have to use indirect methods to detect them.I analyzed the data that had been gathered over years to confirm the first planet and I discovered the second one orbiting the star，” she said. 【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。智利的天文学家 Maritza Soto 发现了一颗是木星的 体积三倍大的行星。 5．What can we know about HD 110014c from the passage? 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 A．It's about three times the size of Jupiter.
