Abstract: We present narrow-band photometric measurements of the exoplanet GJ 1214b using the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias and the Optical System for Imaging and low Resolution Integrated ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Imaging exoplanets with the solar gravitational lens (SGL) faces major technical challenges, including solar corona noise, the sun’s quadrupole moment, and ...

Researchers have developed a new coronagraph that could make it possible to see distant exoplanets obscured by light from their parent stars. Researchers have developed a new coronagraph -- an ...

When Star Wars debuted in 1977, astronomers had yet to confirm an exoplanet with the same orbital path as Skywalker’s home world. It would take another 16 years before experts located an actual ...

Researchers developed a new coronagraph that could make it possible to see exoplanets that are normally obscured by light from their parent stars. The images show theoretical, experimental and ...

In a first, a pair of unusual stars has been revealed to have an equally unusual companion – an exoplanet that orbits them perpendicularly. Astronomers may think they know what is normal for ...

Luke found life on Tatooine to be boring, but he should be glad, because as we have seen, binary stars have the potential to play all kinds of havoc on their orbiting circumbinary planets. A ...

This illustration shows an exoplanet orbiting around two brown dwarfs –– objects bigger than gas-giant planets but too small to be proper stars. ESO/M. Kornmesser Astronomers have discovered a ...

Since astronomers started discovering extrasolar planets, or "exoplanets," in the mid-1990s, worlds orbiting other stars have demonstrated that, compared to our somewhat mundane solar system ...

The CRIRES+ instrument on the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT) has been used to measure the supersonic jet winds on gas giant exoplanet WASP-127b. Credit ...

Prior to Webb's launch in December 2021, astronomers laid out a roadmap that would hopefully answer those questions, beginning with observations of exoplanets TOI-421 b and GJ 1214 b. Though TOI ...
