Image: GJ 710’s rare close approach highlights stellar encounters near the Sun
This study examines how often stars pass close to the Sun and puts the upcoming fly-by of GJ 710 into context. GJ 710 is expected to come within about 0.0621 parsecs (roughly 10,000 astronomical units) of the Solar System in about 1.3 million years, making it one of the closest known future encounters. The researchers analyzed the motions of nearby stars to identify both past and future close approaches within one parsec of the Sun. They corrected the data for effects like gravitational redshift...

Image: Bright ancient star G256353 shows strong r-process element enrichment
Astronomers have studied four extremely metal-poor stars, which are among the oldest and most primitive in our galaxy. The main focus is on G256353, a star with a very low iron content and a strong enhancement of elements created by the rapid neutron-capture process, known as the r-process. Using high-resolution spectra from the GHOST instrument on Gemini South, the team measured the abundances of 15 neutron-capture elements in G256353. The patte...

Image: Apsidal motion in HD 152248 reveals challenges in modeling massive star interiors
HD 152248 is a massive twin binary system used to study the internal structure of stars more than twenty times the mass of the Sun. By measuring the apsidal motion—the slow rotation of the orbit’s long axis—astronomers can probe how mass is distributed inside these stars. This study uses detailed stellar models to compare predictions with observations, focusing on the internal structure constant k2, which is sensitive to the density contrast betw...

Image: Cold Saturn-mass planet HD 38973 b found orbiting a Sun-like star
HD 38973 is a nearby star similar to the Sun. Astronomers have discovered a planet, HD 38973 b, orbiting this star with a long period of about 2733 days, or roughly 7.5 years. The planet’s mass is estimated to be about a quarter that of Jupiter, placing it in the category of cold Saturns—planets with similar mass and temperature to Saturn in our solar system. The discovery was made using precise measurements of the star’s motion, which revealed t...

No radio polarization detected in colliding-wind binaries WR 147 and HD 167971

Image: No radio polarization detected in colliding-wind binaries WR 147 and HD 167971
WR 147 and HD 167971 are massive star systems where strong stellar winds collide, accelerating particles to high energies. These systems, known as particle-accelerating colliding-wind binaries (PACWBs), are expected to produce synchrotron radiation in the radio range, which should be linearly polarized. However, no such polarization has been detected so far. In this study, astronomers used the Very Large Array radio telescope to observe both syst...

Image: CoRoT-2b’s dayside reveals water and carbon monoxide in complex atmosphere
CoRoT-2b is a young and unusual hot Jupiter, a giant planet orbiting very close to its star. Using the IGRINS spectrograph on the Gemini South telescope, scientists observed the planet’s dayside just before it passed behind its star. By analyzing the planet’s thermal emission, they detected clear signs of water vapor and carbon monoxide in its atmosphere. The water signal was found with high confidence, and the carbon monoxide was also detected, ...

Image: Subgiant star TOI-5882’s lithium excess hints at planet engulfment
TOI-5882 is a subgiant star that stands out for its unusually high lithium content. The star also hosts a massive brown dwarf companion, which can disturb the orbits of any inner planets. Theoretical models suggest that subgiant stars in a certain mass range can retain lithium signatures if they have recently swallowed a planet. To test this, researchers measured the lithium abundance in TOI-5882 using high-resolution spectra and compared it to a...

Image: Gliese 3378b’s new mass and orbit place it near the cosmic shoreline
Gliese 3378 (GJ 3378) is a red dwarf star located just 7.7 parsecs from the Sun. It hosts a planet, Gliese 3378b, which was previously thought to be a super-Earth with a mass of about five Earth masses and an orbital period of nearly twenty-five days. New observations using several high-precision spectrographs, including HPF, NEID, CARMENES, and SPIRou, have led to a revised understanding of this planet’s properties. The updated analysis finds th...

Image: Bayesian analysis shows LTT 1445A b may lack a thick atmosphere
LTT 1445A b is a rocky planet orbiting a red dwarf star, and astronomers are using the James Webb Space Telescope to search for signs of an atmosphere. This study introduces a new method that uses climate models and Bayesian statistics to analyze eclipse spectra, which are measurements of the planet’s heat as it passes behind its star. The method fits the observed data with models that account for the planet’s temperature and possible atmospheric...

Image: JWST reveals no clear atmosphere features on rocky planet LTT 1445 A b
LTT 1445 A b is the closest known rocky planet orbiting a red dwarf star. Scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to observe the planet as it passed in front of its star, measuring how starlight filtered through its atmosphere at wavelengths between three and five micrometers. Two independent data analysis methods were used to ensure the results were reliable. The observations achieved very high precision, allowing researchers to lo...
