An international research team has reported the first evidence of a moonlike body outside our solar system, orbiting the brown dwarf CD-35 2722 B about 73 light-years away, with findings published in Nature.
Astronomers using ESO's VLT have found evidence for a moon-like object orbiting a brown dwarf in the CD-35 2722 system, which could be the first exomoon detected outside the Solar System, challenging traditional definitions of planets and moons.
Astronomers confirm LHS 1140 b as the first rocky exoplanet in the habitable zone with a detected atmosphere, marking a key step in the search for Earth-like worlds.
A study reports the detection of helium escaping from the atmosphere of a nearby rocky exoplanet located in its star's habitable zone, providing insights into planetary evolution and atmospheric loss.
Researchers observed helium escaping from the atmosphere of the rocky exoplanet LHS 1140b, offering insights into its atmospheric composition and evolution.
Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to study WD 1856 b, a Jupiter-sized planet orbiting a white dwarf—the only known planet to have survived its star's red giant phase. The planet's close orbit defies expectations, and the team developed new methods to analyze its grazing transit.
Researchers have observed that a close-in exoplanet's magnetic field connects directly with its star's, causing enhanced chromospheric emissions and allowing estimation of the planet's magnetic field at over 10 times Earth's strength.
Using JWST, scientists mapped weather patterns on the exoplanet WASP-94A b, finding morning clouds and clear evenings, which challenges previous assumptions about exoplanet atmospheres.
