In research highlighted in a new paper, published today in The Astrophysical Journal, Scientia Senior Lecturer Ben Montet and PhD candidate Brendan McKee analysed changes in the timing of a known ...

"I do not believe we yet have convincing evidence of the presence of DMS in K2-18b's atmosphere." In 2023, debate erupted in the astronomy community about whether life could exist on an exoplanet ...

"Even the strongest hurricanes in the solar system seem calm in comparison." WASP-121 b is the definition of an "extreme" exoplanet — it's so hot that it rains droplets of liquid iron.

Tylos (or WASP-121b) is a gaseous, giant exoplanet located some 900 light-years away in the constellation Puppis. Using the ESPRESSO instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), scientists ...

Scientists say they are rethinking how the weather works after creating a 3D map of an exoplanet 900 light-years away and discovering a world with jet streams fueling wild storms. WASP-121b ...

And astonishingly, it's managed to drag its exoplanet along, as the poor world hangs on for dear life. "We think this is a so-called super-Neptune world orbiting a low-mass star at a distance that ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A Jupiter-like exoplanet, GJ 2126 b, has been detected orbiting an M-dwarf star using the radial velocity method with the HARPS spectrograph. This exoplanet has ...

Astronomers used a 3D global computer model to compare the climates of exoplanets in different stellar and orbital configurations. They found that a planet orbiting a white dwarf star would offer ...

“Whenever we find planets, they throw up new puzzles about how they form, and hot Jupiters are a great example of that. Hot Jupiters were the first exoplanets we discovered, but we don’t fully ...
