A team models the atmospheres of distant planets using neural networks. Researchers from LMU, the ORIGINS Excellence Cluster, the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE), and the ...

To date, humanity has discovered over 6,200 confirmed exoplanets, or planets outside of our solar system, according to NASA's ...

Using HARPS and HARPS-N spectrographs, astronomers have observed a nearby K-type star designated HD 176986, known to host two super-Earth exoplanets. The observations resulted in the discovery of ...

NASA’s Pandora exoplanet mission has delivered its first engineering images, setting the stage for a new era in exoplanet ...

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 ...

One of the hottest fields in astronomy right now is the search for exoplanets. NASA’s Exoplanet Archive currently lists over 5,700 confirmed planets orbiting distant stars. And more discoveries will ...

Astronomers have detected over 5,800 confirmed exoplanets. One extreme class is ultra-hot Jupiters, of particular interest because they can provide a unique window into planetary atmospheric dynamics.

Astronomers have identified four exoplanets orbiting Barnard’s Star, a red dwarf star just 6 light-years away from Earth. No, really, this time it’s for real! We have to emphasize this because ...

Astronomers have discovered two new exoplanets that are similar to other worlds found in the Milky Way, but are unlike any in our own solar system. The two exoplanets, or planets outside of our solar ...
