Image: Atmosphere of the rocky exoplanet Gliese 486 b studied with infrared observations
Gliese 486 b is a rocky exoplanet orbiting a Red dwarf star at a distance of about 26 light-years from the Solar System. Because it orbits very close to its host star, the planet is extremely hot, with surface temperatures reaching approximately 700 Kelvin. Observations from the James Webb Space Telescope were used to examine the light from the star as the planet passed in front of it to search for an atmosphere. The research indicates that the planet lacks a significant atmosphere, suggestin...

Image: Transit depth variations in young multi-planetary system HIP 67522 reveal stellar surface activity
The HIP 67522 system, at approximately 17 million years old, is one of the youngest multi-planetary systems ever observed. This Sun-like star, located within the Scorpius-Centaurus OB association, hosts two Saturn-sized planets locked in a near 2:1 orbital resonance, meaning that for every orbit the outer planet completes, the inner planet completes roughly two. Scientists have conducted an analysis of photometric transit data—where the dimming o...

Image: Three massive planets discovered orbiting distant low luminosity red giant stars
Researchers have identified three massive planets orbiting two low luminosity red giant stars, marking a significant addition to our understanding of planetary systems around evolved stars. These stars, which have expanded and cooled after exhausting the hydrogen fuel in their cores, are a unique environment for planet formation and survival. The study, part of a long-term campaign using the CORALIE spectrograph, focused on observing changes in t...

Image: Two young giant planets discovered with the longest orbital periods for their class
Astronomers have identified two young, large-radius planets orbiting the F-type star HD 114082, marking them as the longest-period young transiting exoplanets currently known. These planets, designated b and c, were detected through a collaborative effort using data from multiple space and ground-based telescopes, including TESS, the Next-Generation Transit Survey (NGTS), the Characterising Exoplanet Satellite (CHEOPS), and the Antarctic Search f...

Image: Three newly discovered hot Jupiters provide insights into late-stage planetary evolution
Understanding how giant planets evolve is essential for building a complete picture of planetary systems. While many exoplanets have been found, studying their changes over time requires observing systems in different stages of development. A recent discovery has added three new gas giant planets — known as hot Jupiters — orbiting stars that are approaching the end of their main sequence, a critical but less studied phase of planetary life. Th...

Image: UV radiation from host stars complicates search for life on TRAPPIST-1 e
The search for life on distant planets often relies on identifying biosignatures — gases like oxygen or methane that are produced by biological processes. However, a new study highlights how the specific ultraviolet (UV) radiation from a host star can significantly influence a planet's atmospheric chemistry, potentially creating false-positive signals that might be mistaken for life. The research focused on the planet TRAPPIST-1 e, which orbits a...

Image: Chemical differences in binary star pair suggest planetary engulfment
Stars born from the same cloud in a binary system are generally expected to have identical chemical compositions. However, some binary systems exhibit unexplained chemical differences, leading researchers to debate whether these anomalies originate from their birth environment or are the result of external events. This study examines the binary pair HD 129171 and HD 129209, which show significant differences in their abundances of iron, lithium, ...

Image: Planetary engulfment may explain the chemical paradox in the binary system HD 81809
The 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 plan...

Image: JWST observations confirm magnesium silicate clouds in the atmosphere of HD 209458b
HD 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...

Image: Updated modelling framework reveals the orbital alignment of the hot Jupiter TOI-135 b
Understanding 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...
