Stellar Brief: 22. 10. 2026
A young, planet-hosting star called V1298 Tauri is showing how fiercely active infant planetary systems can be: radio emissions appeared in 90 percent of monitoring visits, while its X-ray brightness also changed and showed a stellar flare.

Super-puffs are a class of exoplanets characterized by sub-Saturn masses and extremely low bulk densities. Because these planets have such a low density, they are often compared to cotton candy due to their puffy appearance. While some of these planets can be explained by standard core accretion theory—the process where planets form through the gradual accumulation of dust and gas in a protoplanetary disk—others present a significant challenge to these traditional formation models.

21. 6. 2026Étoiles | ExoplanèteThe disk surrounding the star HD 135344B shows clear signs of active planet formation, including complex spiral arms and a gap in the surrounding dust. By tracking these features over a ten-year period using various telescopes, researchers have identified a consistent orbital motion that links the spiral structures, a central dust gap, and a mysterious twist in the disk. This evidence suggests that a single, yet-to-be-seen protoplanet is likely r...
Read article 21. 6. 2026ÉtoileDeuterium is a heavier version of hydrogen that is typically destroyed by nuclear fusion in the interiors of stars. Because of this, it is not expected to appear in the light emitted from a star's surface, or photosphere. However, early-type stars, which include B, A, and F-type categories, have outer layers that mix slowly. This property might allow recently accreted material containing deuterium to survive long enough to be detected in spectral...
Read article 20. 6. 2026Étoiles | ExoplanètePhotochemical haze—tiny solid particles formed by chemical reactions triggered by starlight—plays a critical role in shaping the appearance and environment of exoplanetary atmospheres. A new 3D model was applied to the well-studied exoplanet HD 189733b to understand how these particles form, move, and affect the planet's overall temperature and light-blocking properties over time.
The simulation used a microphysical scheme coupled with a gener...
Read article 20. 6. 2026Étoiles | ExoplanèteThe internal state and atmospheric composition of rocky planets are heavily dictated by the exchange of gases between a molten mantle and the air above it. For planets orbiting very close to their stars, this process can continue for billions of years. A new analysis of the super-Earth Gliese 1132 b examines how the oxidation state of a planet's interior—specifically how oxygen availability affects the melting point of rocks—changes how these wor...
Read article 20. 6. 2026Étoiles | Étoiles massives de la séquence principaleHD 48914, also known as V505 Mon, is an eclipsing binary star system consisting of a Be-shell star—a star surrounded by a shell of gas—and a companion star that has lost much of its outer material. This system demonstrates high-speed rotation and complex interactions between the two stars. By combining new observations from the TESS space mission with existing photometric data—measurements of light brightness over time—and radial velocity data, t...
Read article 20. 6. 2026Étoiles | ExoplanèteGliese 367 b is an ultra-short-period planet that orbits its host, a Red dwarf star, in just 7.7 hours. Because it is located only about 9 parsecs (roughly 29 light-years) from Earth, it has been a target for intense study. Previous research suggested the planet possessed an extremely high density, implying it might be composed almost entirely of solid iron, a finding that challenged standard models of how planets form. New, high-precision measur...

Previously too faint for detailed study from the ground, this object has now been analyzed using the James Webb Space Telescope. The data reveal a complex atmosphere filled with various molecules and evidence of salt clouds, providing a rare look at the chemistry of a cool, directly imaged world.

Read article 20. 6. 2026Étoiles | ExoplanèteWASP-121 b is an ultra-hot Jupiter, a gas giant planet orbiting extremely close to its host star. Because it is tidally locked, meaning the same side always faces its star, the planet experiences extreme temperature differences across its surface. New observations show that the planet's rotation creates detectable changes in the light it absorbs as it passes in front of its star, revealing uneven temperature and chemical distributions.

Read article 20. 6. 2026Étoiles | ExoplanèteWarm Jupiters are gas giant planets with orbital periods between 10 and 200 days. Two such planets, TOI-2147 b and TOI-6019 b, have been identified and characterized. These planets exhibit high orbital eccentricity, meaning their paths around their host stars are more oval-shaped than circular. Their characteristics suggest they migrated to their current positions through processes involving high-eccentricity interactions.
