Scientists have discovered over 6,000 planets that orbit stars other than our sun, known as exoplanets. More than half of these planets were discovered thanks to data from NASA's retired Kepler ...
A purely hypothetical field a few decades ago, exoplanet hunters inhabit one of the most dynamic areas in astronomy today. Each discovery brings new insights. From giant gas planets to so-called super ...
What role can the relationship between oxygen (O 2) and ozone (O 3) in exoplanet atmospheres have on detecting biosignatures? This is what a study submitted to Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to ...
Scientists have discovered more than 6 000 planets that orbit stars other than our Sun, known as exoplanets. More than half of these planets were discovered thanks to data from NASA’s retired Kepler ...
An international team including Cornell researcher Jake Turner has developed a novel analysis method capable of uncovering previously undetectable stellar and exoplanetary signals hidden within ...
Scientists using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) discovered an exoplanet, which NASA defines as “any planet beyond our solar system.” What's False However, the “strange signals” ...
The balloon-based EXCITE mission measures infrared phase curves of hot Jupiter exoplanets to map temperature and atmospheric composition from long-duration Antarctic flights.
A star's magnetic field must be considered in order to correctly determine the characteristics of exoplanets from observations by space telescopes such as Kepler, James Webb, or PLATO. Researchers ...
