You all probably saw this image going around yesterday, of infrared from the Keck 'scope in Hawaii pointed at LkCa 15:
The artist's rendition above shows how a planet clears out a space in the planetary disc of matter around a star as it forms.
The matter being pulled into the planet formation is giving off a decent amount of IR radiation because it's quite hot. As all this material gets pulled into a gravity well and starts to build up, it tends to heat up...to a few thousand degrees.
In any case, a new exoplanet for Phil's gallery!
