Blanet

A blanet is a member of a hypothetical class of exoplanets that directly orbit black holes.[1]

Blanets are fundamentally similar to other planets; they have enough mass to be rounded by their own gravity, but are not massive enough to start thermonuclear fusion and become stars. In 2019, a team of astronomers and exoplanetologists showed that there is a safe zone around a supermassive black hole that could harbor thousands of blanets in orbit around it.[2][3]

Etymology

The team led by Keiichi Wada of Kagoshima University in Japan has given this name to black hole planets.[4] The word is a portmanteau of black hole and planet.

Formation

Blanets are suspected to form in the accretion disk that orbits a sufficiently large black hole.[3][5]

Possible candidates

In fiction

  • In the two episodes "The Impossible Planet" and "The Satan Pit" (both 2006) of the British television series Doctor Who, the plot of the episode takes place on the titular “impossible planet”, a barren blanet called Krop Tor orbiting a black hole called K37 Gem 5.
  • In Interstellar (2014), two of the 3 terrestrial planets orbiting supermassive black hole Gargantua are proper blanets. The other one orbits a main-sequence star named Pantagruel.
