Have mirror planets been observed?
Abstract
Over the last few years, several close orbiting ($\sim 0.05$ AU) large mass planets ($M \sim M_{Jupiter}$) of nearby stars have been discovered. Their existence has been inferred from tiny doppler shifts in the light from the star. We suggest that these planets may be made of mirror matter. We also point out that some stars such as our sun may also have a similar amount of mirror matter, which has escaped detection due to the effects of a tiny force such as photon - mirror photon kinetic mixing or something else.Keywords
