Scientists from UNSW Sydney have located a potential new exoplanet—a planet that orbits a star outside of our solar ...

If Jupiter had made a migration similar to the ones used to explain hot Jupiters, the consequences for Earth and the other rocky planets would be disastrous. Either we would be absorbed into its ...

51 Pegasi B is what is considered to be a “Hot Jupiter” planet, meaning that it’s a massive body that orbits much closer to its star than our own Jupiter, leading to extremely hot surface ...

The discovery of an extraordinary multi-planet system has demonstrated that so-called "hot Jupiter" planets may not be lonely giants after all. The findings could force scientists to revise their ...

Many of the extraordinary features of WASP-121 b arise from the fact that it is an ultra-hot Jupiter, a gas giant planet with around 1.2 times the mass of its solar system namesake. WASP-121 b ...

Astronomers Spot a 'Highly Eccentric' Planet on Its Way to Becoming a Hot Jupiter July 17, 2024 — The newly discovered planet TIC 241249530 b has the most highly elliptical, or eccentric ...

After identifying an unusual trend in the movement of the hot Jupiter planet TOI-2818b, the team, from the UNSW School of Physics, ran a series of model simulations that pointed to the presence of ...

According to a new paper published in the journal Nature, astronomers have mapped the 3D structure of the layered atmosphere of one such ultra-hot Jupiter-size exoplanet, revealing powerful winds ...

It's an ultra-hot Jupiter, a gas giant orbiting its host star so closely that a year there lasts only about 30 Earth hours. Moreover, one side of the planet is scorching, as it is always facing ...

The planet itself is a typical hot Jupiter with a period of 3.5852467 ± 0.0000064 days, a mass of 0.582 ± 0.056 MJ and a radius of 1.182 ± 0.055 RJ. This discovery adds to the increasing sample of ...
