Stellar Brief: 20. 10. 2026
The enigmatic white dwarf WD J1330+6435 is currently capturing intense astronomical attention, appearing as a top search query for those exploring the remnants of sun-like stars. While most white dwarfs appear characteristically pale, recent research confirms that the complex chemistry of these dense atmospheres can produce stunning, unexpected hues—ranging from vivid yellow and green to delicate shades of pink and purple.

Étoiles | Exoplanètes | Étoiles de type solaireHD 161098 is a Sun-like star located about 30 parsecs away. Using advanced instruments and long-term radial velocity monitoring, scientists have detected two signals that may indicate the presence of planets. The first candidate, HD 161098 b, has a minimum mass of about 3.6 times that of Earth and orbits the star every 72.6 days. The second, HD 161098 c, is more massive, with a minimum mass of about 7.8 Earth masses and an orbital period of 682.5 days, placing it in the optimistic habitable zone...

14. 4. 2026Étoiles | Exoplanètes | Atmosphères planétaireHD 25295 b, also known as TOI-4602 b, is a sub-Neptune planet orbiting a bright and quiet star. Precise measurements of its mass and radius show that it is about 2.5 times the size of Earth and 5.5 times as massive. This places it just above the so-called radius valley, a region where few planets are found, and suggests that it is in transition between a sub-Neptune and a super-Earth.
The planet's bulk density indicates that it still has a thi...
Read article 12. 4. 2026Étoiles | Exoplanètes | TESSTOI-1710 A b is a warm Neptune-sized planet that orbits its star in the opposite direction to the star's rotation, a configuration known as anti-alignment. This rare arrangement was discovered using the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect, which measures how the planet's transit affects the star's light. The planet's orbit is almost exactly opposite to the star's spin, with a true obliquity of about 158 degrees.
The host star has a distant M-dwarf comp...

The combined data show clear signs of water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sodium in the planet's atmosphere. While carbon monoxide could not be confirmed, the results suggest that the atmosphere contains two to six times more heavy elements than its star, a property known as super-solar metallicity.
The pla...
Read article 12. 4. 2026Étoiles | ExoplanèteScientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to search for exomoons, similar to Earth's Moon, around the rocky planets TOI 700 d and e, which orbit in the habitable zone of a red dwarf star. While no exomoons were detected, the study improved the precision of the planets' orbits and sizes, making future searches more effective.
The team found a noise signal in the data, likely caused by the star's surface activity, which made it harder to de...
Read article 12. 4. 2026Étoiles | ExoplanèteWASP-11 b, also known as HAT-P-10 b, is a hot Jupiter with a low density, making it a good candidate for studying its atmosphere. Researchers collected 31 new transit observations and combined them with previous ground-based and space-based data to refine the planet's properties and analyze its orbit over 16 years.
The updated analysis shows that WASP-11 b's orbit is stable, with no signs of orbital decay or additional planets affecting its mo...
Read article 12. 4. 2026Étoiles | Exoplanètes | Naines rougeA new study has measured the alignment between the spin of an M dwarf star and the orbit of its very-low-mass stellar companion, marking the first such measurement for a double M dwarf system. Using the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect, researchers found that the two stars are well aligned, meaning the companion orbits in the same direction as the primary star spins. This suggests the system either formed aligned or was later realigned by tidal forces....
Read article 12. 4. 2026Étoiles | ExoplanèteGJ 436 is a red dwarf star with a Neptune-sized planet, GJ 436 b, orbiting close by. Scientists have long suspected that magnetic interactions between such planets and their stars could produce detectable signals, but direct evidence has been rare. In this study, researchers analyzed 17 years of spectroscopic data and found repeated increases in the star's activity that match the planet's orbital period and the star's rotation.
The team develo...
Read article 12. 4. 2026Étoiles | ExoplanèteHATS-75 b is a giant planet orbiting a red dwarf star, recently studied as part of a program using the James Webb Space Telescope. Scientists observed three transits of the planet, where it passed in front of its star, to analyze its atmosphere. The planet's spectrum showed a deeper transit at shorter wavelengths, which can be caused by hazes in the atmosphere or by features on the star's surface, such as starspots and bright regions.
By compa...
Read article 7. 4. 2026Étoiles | Objets stellaires jeunes | Formation des planèteHL Tauri is a young star surrounded by a protoplanetary disk with rings and gaps, where planets may be forming. Understanding turbulence in such disks is important because it affects how material moves and how planets grow. Until now, the strength of turbulence in the outer parts of these disks was not well known, especially in systems still gathering gas from their surroundings.
Researchers used ALMA telescope data to study the disk around HL...
