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.

Звезды | Экзопланеты | ЭкзолуныBeta 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 conducted between October 2024 and March 2025 usi...

3. 6. 2026Звезды | ЭкзопланетыThis 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. 2026Экзопланеты | ЗвездыScientists 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,...

Initially flagged as a planet candidate by TESS, follow-up radial velocity measurements revealed its true sub-stellar nature. TOI-7154b is nearly as massive as the hydrogen-burning limit that separates brown dwarfs from very low-mass stars, but its radius is smaller than Jupiter’s. The brown dwarf orbits a metal-rich G-type star in...
Read article 31. 5. 2026Звезды | ЭкзопланетыResearchers combined space-based K2 and TESS photometry with high-resolution HERMES spectroscopy to study four bright stars: HD 73135, BD +19° 2045, BD +19° 2046, and TYC 1395-855-1. Their analysis clarified the stars’ variability, chemical properties, and evolutionary status. HD 73135 shows a persistent modulation near 1.5 days, likely due to rotation, but an ellipsoidal-binary scenario is also possible. BD +19° 2045 is identified as a new candi...
Read article 31. 5. 2026Звезды | ЭкзопланетыResearchers have upgraded the Exo-REM atmospheric model to better simulate the complex, patchy clouds found in brown dwarfs and exoplanets. The new Exo-REM k26 grids include a cloud sedimentation parameter, improved molecular opacities, and stricter convergence criteria, allowing for more accurate modeling of objects with heterogeneous cloud cover. Applying this model to VHS 1256 b, a variable brown dwarf, the team found that a two-column approac...

They found evidence for a close-in, non-transiting planet with a mass of about 7.3 Earth masses and a radius of 2.43 Earth radii, placing it in the so-called Neptunian desert—a region where such planets are rare. The planet likely has a water-rich composition and may have lost its original hydrogen/helium envelope or developed a metal-rich ...

Using new ALMA observations, researchers mapped a wide range of molecules and found that emissions from H₂CO, CN, and C₂H are concentrated in spiral-like features in the southern disk, opposite the dust trap. These features are not linked to the disk’s shadows but are likely caused by late infall of carbon-rich material, which boosts the local carbon...
Read article 30. 5. 2026Звезды | ЭкзопланетыAU Mic is a young, nearby star with two Neptune-sized planets and a debris disk. Researchers observed back-to-back transits of both planets, AU Mic b and c, using multiple telescopes and measured their spin-orbit alignment with the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect. They confirmed that planet b’s orbit is well aligned with the star’s rotation, while planet c’s orbit is likely aligned but a polar orbit cannot be ruled out due to data limitations.

Researchers used N-body simulations to study the system’s history and found that its current architecture can be reproduced if the system originally hosted additional massive planets that were later ejected through planet-planet scattering. The mass of the ejected planet help...
