Astronomers used the JWST's interferometry mode to study the PDS 70 extrasolar system. (Image credit: Blakely et al., 2024 , CC BY 4.0 ) Planets are born in swirling disks of gas and dust around ...

Observations of extrasolar systems with belts similar to the Kuiper Belt reveal that planetesimals in these belts sublimate carbon monoxide (CO). For belts closer to their star, such as the ...

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 ...

The system appears to be moving at an incredible speed of 1.2 million miles per hour (1.9 million kilometers per hour). If the discovery is confirmed, this will be the fastest extrasolar planet ...

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 ...

We are international leaders in analysing extrasolar planetary data obtained with space telescopes. We are developing a holistic modelling approach for different planets and exoplanets that ...
