SterneHD 166620 is a star thought to be in a Maunder Minimum-like state, a period of very low magnetic activity similar to what the Sun experienced in the 17th century. Using spectropolarimetric observations from the CFHT/SPIRou and ESPaDOnS instruments, astronomers analyzed the star’s magnetic field over 12 nights. While individual measurements showed no strong polarization, combining the data revealed a weak, axisymmetric dipole field with a strength of about 1.1 Gauss, matching predictions for the ...

Ultra-short period (USP) rocky planets, which orbit their stars in less than a day, are rare, especially around red dwarfs. TOI-4552 b (also UPM J1738-4738 b) is a newly validated Earth-sized planet with a 0.3-day orbit around a quiet M4.5V red dwarf just 90 light years away. It was first found in TESS transit data and later confirmed using TESS photometry, ground-based transit observations, and high-resolution imaging, which ruled out false posi...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRCam coronagraph, astronomers observed HD 163296 and identified several background sources seen through or near the disk. These background stars provide valuable benchmarks for measuring how much the disk dims and reddens starlight—a process known as...

NGTS-2 b is a hot Jupiter with a temperature of about 1,470 Kelvin, orbiting an F-type star in an orbit aligned with the star’s spin. Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers observed a transit of NGTS-2b and measured its atmosphere’s spectrum from 2.84 to 5.18 micrometers. The spectrum shows weak absorption features from water and carbon dioxide, but the data are not sufficient to precisely determine the planet’s atmospheric comp...

TOI-1232 is a Sun-like star with slightly higher metallicity than the Sun. It hosts two massive planets, both warmer than Jupiter, discovered using data from the TESS space telescope and ground-based follow-up. The inner planet, TOI-1232 b, is a Jovian-mass planet with a 14.26-day orbit, while the outer planet, TOI-1232 c, is Saturn-mass with a 30.36-day orbit.
The TESS light curve of TOI-1232 is complex due to contamination from a background ...

This study used computer simulations to explore how much material planets can accrete from the wind of a star as it goes through its red giant and asymptotic giant branch phases. The simulations covered planets with masses from half to thirteen times that of Jupiter, at distances of 5, 10, and 20 astronomical units from t...
Read article 20. 3. 2026Sterne | Exoplaneten | Heißer JupiterThe alignment between a planet’s orbit and its star’s rotation axis can reveal how giant planets migrate and evolve, especially in binary star systems. TOI-1333 A b is a hot Jupiter—a giant planet in a close orbit—around an F-type star that also has a distant stellar companion. By analyzing spectroscopic data taken during a planetary transit, astronomers measured the angle between the planet’s orbit and the star’s spin axis, known as the projecte...

The planet’s atmosphere was studied using two transits observed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The host star’s surface changes rapidly, making it challenging to interpret the data. In the first transit, the planet crossed regions of the star with different brightness, which contaminated the spectrum. The second transit allo...
Read article 17. 3. 2026Sterne | ExoplaneteStudying exoplanet atmospheres with transmission spectroscopy can be complicated by features on the star’s surface, which can affect the observed spectra. To better understand these effects, astronomers analyzed the surface of the star HD 189733 by observing two transits of its planet using the ESPRESSO spectrograph. They used a technique called Doppler shadow analysis to probe how the star’s spectral lines change from the center to the edge (lim...

High-resolution images from the ALMA telescope have revealed a variety of shapes in the dust of planet-forming disks, including rings, spirals, and crescents. While most disks show symmetrical rings, some display asymmetric features like blobs or crescents, which may be linked to vortices or the influence of forming planets. This study focuses on the disk around the star HD 163296, where a crescent-shaped arc was observed in the dust using ALMA d...
