WISE 0855 represents the coldest known brown dwarf, an object too large to be a planet but too small to sustain the nuclear fusion that powers stars. With a temperature of roughly 265 Kelvin, it is cold enough to host complex atmospheric phenomena similar to those seen on gas giant planets in our solar system. Observations reveal that this object is not uniform but features patchy water clouds distributed throughout its atmosphere, which influence its light patterns over time. To study this, ...

The hot Jupiter TOI-5322 b orbits an ancient star in the Milky Way thick disk. New analysis shows these older systems host planets that are often less massive and have longer orbital periods than those in the younger thin disk. #Astronomy #Exoplanets...

While most white dwarfs appear white, new research shows their dense atmospheres can produce unexpected colours. By modelling light emissions, researchers found that some of these stellar remnants would appear yellow, green, cyan, pink, or purple up close....

WASP-33 b, WASP-76 b, and HAT-P-32 b are identified as the best candidates for studying how stellar gravity shapes exoplanet interiors. Measuring their physical deformation will help reveal their deep, internal density structures using JWST and Ariel data....
