As planets pass in front of their parent stars as viewed from Earth, they cause a tiny dip in the amount of starlight we ...

The planet is crumbling so fast due to bombardment from its star that it is losing a "moon's worth" of matter every million years. Soon, it is doomed to vanish entirely. The extrasolar planet ...

NASA's upcoming Pandora mission will complement the James Webb Space Telescope by making it easier to detect water in the ...

Problem is, even nearby earth-like planets are extremely difficult to detect. As a result, most of the extrasolar planets thus far detected are much bigger than tiny earths. They are extrasolar ...

These hot, puffy worlds endure extreme temperatures, making them very aptly nicknamed "roasting marshmallows." These planets are thought to form farther away from their stars in orbits similar to ...

Hubble Space Telescope observations of white dwarf star G238-44 has shown that it is "consuming both rocky-metallic and icy ...

We search for extrasolar planets and determine their properties. We develop models that describe the atmospheres of the planets. We want to find out what makes a planet favourable to life. Through ...

Using data from the European Space Agency's Gaia mission, scientists have found a huge exoplanet and a brown dwarf. This is the first time a planet has been uniquely discovered by Gaia's ability to ...

Can we find another planet like Earth orbiting a nearby star? Extrasolar planets (exoplanets) have moved from being a novelty to a fundamental part of modern astronomy. Over 1500 exoplanets have been ...

Extrasolar planets contextualise the Solar System among a large number of planetary systems with very different properties. Many extrasolar planets show characteristics which are not realised in the ...

Skip to content viewer section. ABSTRACT I present a review of astrometric techniques and instrumentation used to search for, detect, and characterize extrasolar planets. First, I briefly summarize ...

the study of planets beyond the solar system, or extrasolar planets, or "exoplanets." But reality often doesn't meet expectations. In celebration of three years of exoplanet science from the JWST, ...
