What can Venus-like exoplanets, also known as exoVenuses, teach us about our own solar system and potentially finding life ...
LHS 1140 b, a super-Earth located about 40 light-years from Earth, has been the subject of several studies. Discovered in 2017, this exoplanet is approximately 1,4 times the size of Earth and orbits a ...
Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have delved into the atmosphere of the scorching hot exoplanet LTT 9779 b. Officially named Cuancoá, this Neptune-sized exoplanet was ...
These exoplanets, as scientists call them, are worlds of lava, and worlds of water. They're worlds being ravaged by the heat of their stars, and worlds locked in eternal night. There are worlds ...
The frequency of that stellar wobble reveals an exoplanet’s orbital period and distance from its star, and its strength provides an estimate of the unseen world’s mass. The observations ...
Using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and the HARPS-N high-resolution spectrograph, the researchers were able to identify TOI-1453 b and TOI-1453 c, the two ...
A team of researchers led by Dr. Daniel Angerhausen, a Physicist in Professor Sascha Quanz's Exoplanets and Habitability Group at ETH Zurich and a SETI Institute affiliate, tackled this question ...
Normally, the Webb telescope only detects exoplanets by glimpsing them when they cross in front of their host star. This "transiting method" was how Webb indirectly detected CO2 in the atmosphere ...
HD 209458 b is a gas giant larger than Jupiter spinning 158 light-years away from Earth. The exoplanet has a 3.5-day orbital period, presses close to its star and runs hot—and all these factors ...
