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 ...

A groundbreaking study published in Communications Earth & Environment has called into question the long-standing assumptions about how our solar system came to be. Tiny shavings from a meteorite ...

A view of HOPS-315, a baby star some 1,400 light-years from Earth where astronomers have observed evidence for the earliest stages of planet formation. Combined with data from the James Webb Space ...

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 ...

The first system observed and analysed as part of ATREIDES is called TOI-421. It has two planets: a hot Neptune, TOI-421 c, ...

There exists a very special class of planets in the universe—ultra-short period planets. They are like "mysterious visitors" from interstellar space, challenging traditional understanding with their ...

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

The formation of Mercury remains an unsolved mystery. The planet closest to the sun has a disproportionately large metallic ...

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

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

Super-Earths and sub-Neptunes, planets with sizes between Earth and Neptune, constitute approximately one-third of known exoplanets but are absent in our solar system. Their prevalence elsewhere and ...
