Super-Earth TOI-561b is about 40 times closer to its host star than Mercury is to the sun.
An ancient rocky world so close to its star that its surface is largely molten should have been stripped bare of gas long ago. Instead, new observations reveal that this ultra-hot planet has somehow ...
No known process explains how such a carbon-heavy planet as PSR J2322-2650 b could form, according to new research. Credit: NASA / ESA / CSA / Ralf Crawford illustration Astronomers have found a ...
What can salt clouds teach scientists about exoplanet atmospheres? This is what a recent study published in The Astronomical ...
Spread the love“`html As we expand our understanding of the cosmos, one of the most intriguing areas of study is the chemistry of exoplanets, particularly those dubbed ‘hot Jupiters.’ A recent ...
Finding life beyond our solar system goes beyond measuring an exoplanet's size, as rocky, Earth-sized worlds might not have the conditions for life as we know it. While exoplanets can be directly ...
One of the primary goals of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is to detect atmospheres around exoplanets, to try to suss out whether or not they could potentially support life. But, in order to do ...
TOI-199 b, a rare temperate giant planet, sits between scorching hot Jupiters and frozen gas giants, and JWST has found methane in its atmosphere. That first close look begins to fill a major gap in ...
A team of astronomers led by Elisabeth Matthews at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) has made a discovery that highlights the limits of most current models of exoplanet atmospheres: ...
