The discovery of a super-Jupiter exoplanet around the M-type dwarf star 2MASS J04372171+2651014 challenges models of planet formation by either core accretion...
Using a technique called gravitational microlensing, which occurs when a star close to Earth momentarily aligns with a more distant star, astronomers have...
Using high-resolution spectra obtained with GRACES at the Gemini North Observatory, astronomers have detected ionized calcium in the atmosphere of the...
Astronomers have discovered a highly-irradiated gas giant exoplanet in close-in, highly misaligned orbit around a bright star called TOI-1518.
An artist’s...
Using data from the WFC3/UVIS instrument on board the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, a team of astronomers has measured the horizontal winds in Jupiter’s...
The upper atmosphere of Jupiter is hotter than expected from the amount of sunlight that it receives: the average temperature should be about minus 73...
Astronomers with the COol Companions ON Ultrawide orbiTS (COCONUTS) program have directly imaged a massive exoplanet orbiting the low-mass red dwarf L...
