K2-18b, a potentially habitable exoplanet 124 lightyears away, may contain biomarker DMS, but its habitability remains ...

Abstract: Up to now, WASP-12b is the only hot Jupiter confirmed to have a decaying ... This possibility is given by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) space telescope. In this work, we ...

WASP-12b, WASP-17b and WASP-18b. In contrast, we confirm the eccentricity of HAT-P-16b, e= 0.034 ± 0.003, the smallest eccentricity that is reliably measured so far for an exoplanet as well as that of ...

The CRIRES+ instrument on the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT) has been used to measure the ...

When Star Wars debuted in 1977, astronomers had yet to confirm an exoplanet with the same orbital path as Skywalker’s home world. It would take another 16 years before experts located an actual ...

Researchers developed a new coronagraph that could make it possible to see exoplanets that are normally obscured by light from their parent stars. The images show theoretical, experimental and ...

Researchers have developed a new coronagraph that could make it possible to see distant exoplanets obscured by light from their parent stars. Researchers have developed a new coronagraph -- an ...

Apparent signs of alien life on the exoplanet K2-18b may just be statistical noise, according to a new analysis of data from the James Webb Space Telescope. On 17 April, Nikku Madhusudhan at the ...

The exoplanet, L 98-59 c, is a hot, rocky world slightly larger than Earth that orbits a bright, young star about 35 light-years away from us. While the planet itself was discovered back in 2019 ...

Scientists have found further evidence of possible biosignature gases on the nearby exoplanet K2-18b, strengthening the case that it could support alien life. In 2023, researchers using NASA's ...
