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, and other elements. To investigate these differ...

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...

Image: Pan-Pacific survey clarifies the nature of six candidate companions orbiting evolved stars
The 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...

Image: High-resolution spectroscopy reveals gaseous silicon in the atmosphere of brown dwarf TWA 5 B
TWA 5 B is a directly imaged sub-stellar companion, a type of object often categorized as a gas giant or brown dwarf. 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...

Image: ALMA observations detect complex carbon-chain molecule HC5N in the TW Hya protoplanetary disk
Protoplanetary 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...

Image: JWST observations reveal water vapor in the atmosphere of young planet V1298 Tauri c
V1298 Tauri c is a young super-Earth progenitor — an infant version of a planet like those commonly found in our galaxy — orbiting a star about 23 million years old. 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...

Image: Radial velocity study puts upper limits on massive moons around Beta Pictoris b
Beta 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...

Image: Gliese 9827 d and TOI-238 b reveal secrets of mini-Neptune atmospheres
This 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...
