"In this work, we introduce an expanded 'temperate' zone, defined by instellation fluxes between 0.1 < S/S⊕ < 5, thus encompassing a broader range of potentially habitable worlds," the authors explain ...

What can an exoplanet’s magnetic field teach astronomers about an exoplanet’s atmosphere? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as an international team of ...

As planetary systems evolve, gravitational interactions between planets can fling some of them into eccentric elliptical orbits around the host star, or even out of the system altogether. Smaller ...

Astronomers using data collected by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have identified an exoplanet as a “promising super-Earth” and unlike the one JWST spotted earlier this year, it looks like a giant ...

Astronomers have detected the first-ever radio emission from an exoplanet, Beta Pictoris b, 63 light-years away. The signal ...

Exoplanets are planets outside Earth's solar system that most often orbit a star. Astronomers have managed to bring an exoplanet into unprecedented focus by using a technique the researchers call 3D ...
