Stellar Brief: 20. 10. 2026
The planet-forming disk around HD 100546 contains an unexpectedly high amount of methyl formate: ALMA measured a methyl-formate-to-methanol ratio of about 2, hinting that active chemistry is reshaping the ingredients from which planets form.

ЗвездыWR 147 and HD 167971 are massive star systems where strong stellar winds collide, accelerating particles to high energies. These systems, known as particle-accelerating colliding-wind binaries (PACWBs), are expected to produce synchrotron radiation in the radio range, which should be linearly polarized. However, no such polarization has been detected so far. In this study, astronomers used the Very Large Array radio telescope to observe both systems at frequencies where synchrotron emission is s...

Звезды | ЭкзопланетыCoRoT-2b is a young and unusual hot Jupiter, a giant planet orbiting very close to its star. Using the IGRINS spectrograph on the Gemini South telescope, scientists observed the planet’s dayside just before it passed behind its star. By analyzing the planet’s thermal emission, they detected clear signs of water vapor and carbon monoxide in its atmosphere. The water signal was found with high confidence, and the carbon monoxide was also detected, ...

Звезды | Экзопланеты | Коричневые карлики | TESS | СубгигантыTOI-5882 is a subgiant star that stands out for its unusually high lithium content. The star also hosts a massive brown dwarf companion, which can disturb the orbits of any inner planets. Theoretical models suggest that subgiant stars in a certain mass range can retain lithium signatures if they have recently swallowed a planet. To test this, researchers measured the lithium abundance in TOI-5882 using high-resolution spectra and compared it to a...

Звезды | Экзопланеты | Суперземля | Oбитаемые экзопланетыGliese 3378 (GJ 3378) is a red dwarf star located just 7.7 parsecs from the Sun. It hosts a planet, Gliese 3378b, which was previously thought to be a super-Earth with a mass of about five Earth masses and an orbital period of nearly twenty-five days. New observations using several high-precision spectrographs, including HPF, NEID, CARMENES, and SPIRou, have led to a revised understanding of this planet’s properties. The updated analysis finds th...

Звезды | ЭкзопланетыLTT 1445A b is a rocky planet orbiting a red dwarf star, and astronomers are using the James Webb Space Telescope to search for signs of an atmosphere. This study introduces a new method that uses climate models and Bayesian statistics to analyze eclipse spectra, which are measurements of the planet’s heat as it passes behind its star. The method fits the observed data with models that account for the planet’s temperature and possible atmospheric...

Звезды | ЭкзопланетыLTT 1445 A b is the closest known rocky planet orbiting a red dwarf star. Scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to observe the planet as it passed in front of its star, measuring how starlight filtered through its atmosphere at wavelengths between three and five micrometers. Two independent data analysis methods were used to ensure the results were reliable. The observations achieved very high precision, allowing researchers to lo...

Звезды | ЭкзопланетыTRAPPIST-1 is a system of planets orbiting a low-mass star, with several planets considered potentially habitable. This study uses a version of the HEXTOR energy balance model to explore the possible climate states of these planets, focusing on those that are similar to Earth and orbit in a way that keeps the same side facing their star. The model is first tested on rapidly rotating, Earth-like planets and shows expected patterns of climate stabi...

Звезды | ЭкзопланетыHAT-P-70b is an ultra-hot Jupiter, a type of giant planet that orbits very close to its star and experiences extreme temperatures. The dayside of HAT-P-70b is so hot that many metals become ionized, while the nightside remains cool enough for some elements to condense. Using the MAROON-X high-resolution spectrograph, researchers studied the planet’s atmosphere and detected fourteen different metals, including iron, titanium, calcium, chromium, so...

Звезды | Экзопланеты | Суперземля | Красные карлики | TESSRoss 318 (Gliese 48) is a red dwarf star with strong magnetic activity and a rotation period of about fifty-one and a half days. Researchers analyzed over a decade of radial velocity data from CARMENES and HIRES, along with TESS space telescope observations, to search for planets around this star. They discovered a planet, Ross 318 b (Gliese 48 b), which has a minimum mass about six times that of Earth and orbits the star every thirty-nine days. ...

ЗвездыV1094 Sco is a large protoplanetary disk that displays several pairs of rings and gaps far from its central star. Using high-resolution images from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array and the Very Large Telescope, researchers studied the disk's structure in detail. The dust in the disk forms four narrow ring-gap pairs at large distances, while gas traced by carbon monoxide extends even farther and moves in a pattern called Keplerian ...
