Rote Zwerge

Rote Zwerge sind kleine, kühle Sterne, die über 70 % unserer Galaxie ausmachen. Wäre die Sonne ein helles Fernlicht, wäre ein Roter Zwerg wie eine schwache Kerze mit einer Temperatur um 3.000 K. Sie besitzen nur 8–50 % der Sonnenmasse, mischen aber durch volle Konvektion ihren Brennstoff wie in einem riesigen Kessel und verbrennen Wasserstoff extrem langsam. 

Während die Sonne in Milliarden Jahren erlischt, können diese „Weltraum-Marathonläufer“ Billionen von Jahren leuchten. Sie werden oft von Planeten umkreist, die jedoch viel näher an ihrem Stern sein müssen als die Erde an der Sonne, um nicht einzufrieren, was sie starken Eruptionen aussetzt.
  • Percentage of Rote Zwerge within 98.5 lichtjahre: 70.82 % (6742 from 9520 stars)
  • Average masse of Rote Zwerge: 7.5-50% solar mass
  • Average radius of Rote Zwerge: 10-60% solar radius
  • Average temperatur of Rote Zwerge: 2400-3900 K

Image: Orbital and atmospheric evolution of the mini-Neptune TOI-2257 b
TOI-2257 b represents a unique case in planetary science due to its 35-day orbital period and high eccentricity, which describes how much an orbit deviates from a perfect circle. Located in a sparsely populated region of planetary parameter space, it sits at a critical threshold where the combined effects of stellar radiation and tidal forces - gravitational stresses caused by the host star - begin to lose their influence over the planet. Simulations show that the planet remains near this transi...

Image: Atmospheric composition of sub-Neptune planets around Red dwarf stars reveals new hybrid class
Analysis of sub-Neptune planets around Red dwarf stars using JWST data reveals a new category of hybrid worlds. These planets have atmospheric compositions that do not align with traditional gas dwarf or water world definitions. Study highlights include TOI-776 c....

Image: Observations of TRAPPIST-1 c reveal a likely airless surface without a thick atmosphere
Analysis of four transit observations of TRAPPIST-1 c shows the planet is likely airless. By using a new method to account for stellar activity, researchers ruled out thick carbon dioxide and nitrogen atmospheres for this rocky exoplanet....

Image: Temperate sub-Neptune planet orbiting the red dwarf star TOI-210 confirmed
A temperate sub-Neptune planet, TOI-210 b, has been confirmed orbiting the red dwarf TOI-210. With 6.75 times Earth's mass, the planet is likely a water-rich world or a gas dwarf. Evidence also points to two additional planets in the system....
