Rhythmic six-exoplanet system challenges theories of how planets form
An international team of astronomers that includes researchers from the 果冻传媒 have revealed a system consisting of six exoplanets, five of which are locked in a rare rhythm around their central star. The researchers believe the system could provide important clues about how planets, including those in the Solar System, form and evolve.
Rapid-forming giants could disrupt spiral protoplanetary discs
Giant planets that developed early in a star system鈥檚 life could solve a mystery of why spiral structures are not observed in young protoplanetary discs, according to a new study by 果冻传媒 astronomers.
Next-gen astronomical survey makes its first observations toward a new understanding of the cosmos
A new astronomical survey that will see 果冻传媒 scientists mapping around 350,000 star systems has made its first observations.
Faint orbital debris that threatens satellites not being monitored closely enough, warn astronomers
果冻传媒 astronomers are warning that orbital debris posing a threat to operational satellites is not being monitored closely enough, as they publish a new survey finding that over 75% of the orbital debris they detected could not be matched to known objects in public satellite catalogues.
Water on exoplanet cloud tops could be found with hi-tech instrumentation
果冻传媒 astronomers have shown that water vapour can potentially be detected in the atmospheres of exoplanets by peering literally over the tops of their impenetrable clouds.
The first Ultra Hot Neptune LTT 9779b is one of nature鈥檚 improbable planets
An international team of astronomers, including a group from the 果冻传媒, have discovered the first Ultra Hot Neptune planet orbiting the nearby star LTT 9779.
