In the last 30 years over 4,000 exoplanets have been discovered. These worlds come in all sizes, orbital periods, and around all different types of stars. These changing environments will have a ...
Since the confirmation of the first exoplanet around a main-sequence star ... The two planets exhibit a near 2:1 orbital resonance, where their periods are nearly in sync, creating significant ...
The newly discovered exoplanet, named Gaia-4b, has an orbital period of 570 days and a mass of 12 Jupiter masses and orbits a star 64% of the mass of the sun. Not only is Gaia-4b the first planet ...
Exoplanets come in all sorts of shapes and ... has a highly elongated orbit compared to the planets in our solar system and ...
A team of astronomers have discovered a rather curious exoplanetary system that has two gas giant planets that are messing up each other’s orbit! On of them is 3.8 times the mass of Jupiter and ...
One of the largest exoplanets to be found orbiting a relatively ... with a mass 11.8 times greater than that of Jupiter. "With an orbital period of 570 days, it is a relatively cold gas giant ...
That orbital pattern is especially interesting to astronomers, because if the planet contains water, it would likely be liquid during its closest passages to the sun, and ice when its farthest away.
The so-called Neptunian desert and savanna mark the dearth of Neptune-like exoplanets on the shortest-period orbits and their modest occurrence at larger orbital distances. They are separated by a ...
Recent research has delved into various aspects of orbital dynamics, particularly the effects of resonance and the behavior of space debris. Understanding these dynamics is essential for ensuring ...
These planets are typically characterized by their small size, proximity to their stars, and extremely short orbital periods. TOI-3261 b is one of only four known exoplanets in this category.
