Sterne | ExoplaneteThe binary star system HD 81809 presents a significant chemical mystery, as its two components exhibit a striking difference in metallicity — the abundance of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. While the primary star has a low metallicity, the secondary star, HD 81809B, shows a metallicity closer to that of our Sun. Scientists are investigating whether this anomaly could be the result of the secondary star having engulfed one or more planets during its evolution, which would increase its...

4. 6. 2026Sterne | ExoplaneteHD 209458b is perhaps the most famous hot Jupiter, having been the first planet where researchers successfully measured atmospheric composition and discovered hints of aerosol-related effects. These massive, hot gas giants provide essential insights into planetary atmospheres, but confirming the specific composition of their clouds has remained a challenge. New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have now directly measured the...
Read article 4. 6. 2026Sterne | ExoplaneteUnderstanding the orientation of an exoplanet's orbit relative to its host star's rotation provides essential clues about the system's past. A key method for measuring this alignment is the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect, which occurs when a transiting planet blocks different parts of a rotating star, creating a characteristic shift in the star's spectral lines. Researchers have now introduced an improved modelling framework within the exoplanet anal...
Read article 4. 6. 2026Sterne | ExoplaneteThe Pan-Pacific Planet Search was a six-year survey that monitored 164 southern evolved stars to detect potential orbiting companions using radial-velocity measurements, which track the slight wobble of a star caused by the gravitational pull of orbiting objects. In their final data release, researchers aimed to resolve the true nature of six speculative candidates that had been identified during the survey.
By combining new radial-velocity da...

Understanding the chemical composition of these atmospheres is essential for learning how they formed. Silicon is a particularly important element, as it is a refractory material — a substance that remains solid at relatively high temperatures — and it plays a major role in the formation of magnesium-silicate clouds, which are sim...
Read article 4. 6. 2026SterneProtoplanetary disks, the rotating disks of gas and dust that surround young stars, are the environments where planets are born. Scientists study these disks to understand the chemical ingredients available during planet formation, which can provide clues about the potential for life. A recent investigation has identified a new, complex molecule within the disk surrounding the star TW Hya, known as a Class II disk, which is in a mature phase of d...

These young, inflated planets are crucial for understanding how planetary atmospheres form and change over time, unlike older planets whose atmospheres may have already settled. As part of the KRONOS research program, space telescope observations have now analyzed the light passing t...
Read article 4. 6. 2026Sterne | Exoplaneten | ExomondeBeta Pictoris b is a massive gas giant planet directly imaged in orbit around a star, and its orbit is aligned in a way that makes it a prime target for studying potential large moons, known as exomoons. By monitoring the radial velocity — the speed at which the planet moves toward or away from us along our line of sight — of this distant world, researchers aimed to detect the gravitational tug caused by an orbiting moon.
The observations were...
Read article 3. 6. 2026Sterne | ExoplaneteThis study investigates the atmospheres of warm and hot mini-Neptunes, specifically Gliese 9827 d and TOI-238 b, which may have water- or metal-rich compositions. It examines how these compositions affect atmospheric photochemistry and mass loss rates, finding that higher water/metal content can significantly reduce atmospheric escape, making these atmospheres more stable over time.
Using the CHAIN model, researchers simulated the upper atmosp...
Read article 3. 6. 2026Exoplaneten | SterneScientists have taken a closer look at an exoplanet called WASP-18 b, refining its orbit and investigating whether a second planet, WASP-18 c, truly exists.
Using a vast amount of data from various telescopes and databases, they precisely measured WASP-18 b's orbit and its timing. This high-precision data is crucial for detecting any subtle changes in its orbit over time.
Additionally, they analyzed numerous measurements of radial velocity,...
