A new analytical transmission model incorporating pressure-dependent opacity improves interpretation of exoplanet atmospheres and supports data analysis from JWST and the upcoming ARIEL mission.

Scientists have discovered over 6,000 planets that orbit stars other than our sun, known as exoplanets. More than half of these planets were discovered thanks to data from NASA's retired Kepler ...

A purely hypothetical field a few decades ago, exoplanet hunters inhabit one of the most dynamic areas in astronomy today. Each discovery brings new insights. From giant gas planets to so-called super ...

What role can the relationship between oxygen (O 2) and ozone (O 3) in exoplanet atmospheres have on detecting biosignatures? This is what a study submitted to Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to ...

A star's magnetic field must be considered in order to correctly determine the characteristics of exoplanets from observations by space telescopes such as Kepler, James Webb, or PLATO. Researchers ...

Our solar system hosts almost 900 known moons; more than 400 orbit the eight planets while the remaining orbit dwarf planets, asteroids, and Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs). Of these, only a handful ...

Scientists have discovered more than 6 000 planets that orbit stars other than our Sun, known as exoplanets. More than half of these planets were discovered thanks to data from NASA’s retired Kepler ...

Scientists using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) discovered an exoplanet, which NASA defines as “any planet beyond our solar system.” What's False However, the “strange signals” ...

Astronomers have discovered two exoplanets around TOI-1453, a star about 250 light years away. These two exoplanets, a super-Earth and a sub-Neptune, are common in the galaxy, yet are absent from our ...
