Image: HD 210058 b has a tilted orbit that is slowly precessing

HD 210058 b is a 10-Jupiter-mass planet on a slightly misaligned orbit. Its changing transit path points to an 860-year precession cycle, with only about six more years of transit observations expected. BD+37 4838 b’s planetary status remains uncertain....

Stellar Brief

5. 11. 2026

K2-18 b and TOI-270 d may have far more varied interiors than simple models suggest, with much less certainty about what lies beneath their atmospheres. Other studies show how tides reshape atmospheric signals on WASP-12 b and WASP-121 b, while Gliese 3470’s changing surface can mimic the signal of its Neptune-size planet.

About Stellar Catalog

Working with real data

Data in Stellar Catalog come from trusted scientific sources. Primary source is Gaia space telescope mapping the stars in Milky Way. Other sources include research papers, Simbad catalog and Exoplanet.eu database.

Estimated values

Objects listed in the Stellar Catalog often have values that are estimates. These estimates are determined using their known characteristics, such as spectral type, brightness across different wavelengths, distance from a star, and other factors.

Fresh and validated

Stellar Catalog is continuously updated with new information from research papers. Stellar and planetary data are validated by automatic processes as well as humans.
