The system has provided a rich source of information on planet formation and evolution in a young solar system. Researchers used a variety of tools to compile radial velocity and transit timing ...

The process of planet formation has long been a mystery to astronomers, and despite years of theoretical research, capturing the birth of a planet has proven elusive. However, a new breakthrough has ...

What can auroras on a rogue planet teach astronomers about planetary formation and evolution? This is what a recent ...

Astronomers have made a significant breakthrough in space exploration by discovering over 6,000 planets outside our solar system, known as exoplanets. This milestone has not only expanded our ...

A team of researchers led by astronomers at UCI has obtained highly precise information about six confirmed exoplanets orbiting TOI-1136, a dwarf star about 270 light years from Earth. A recently ...

Astronomers have observed a massive growth rate in a free-floating rogue planet that’s gobbling up gas and dust at a record ...

The first system observed and analysed as part of ATREIDES is called TOI-421. It has two planets: a hot Neptune, TOI-421 c, located in the savanna, and a smaller planet closer to the star, TOI-421 b.

What specific processes are responsible for planetary formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to address as an international team of ...

The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has provided the first direct measurements of the chemical and physical ...

Late-stage planetary collisions reshaped Earth and its neighboring planets, delivering water, altering their atmospheres, and ...

Here, the 'ice volcano' does not erupt molten rock, but rather 'ice magma' formed from a mixture of water ice, liquid brine, ...

A new program has discovered chaos in a nearby planetary system, which could explain the existence of a phenomenon ...
