Barnard's Star is a small, dim star of the type that astronomers call red dwarfs. Consequently, even though it is one of the ...

A new study has revealed the structure of extreme winds on WASP-121b, a gas giant located 1,300 light-years away. This ...

The shape of a planet's orbit is one of its fundamental properties, along with its size and distance from its host star.

Studying young gas giant exoplanets' compositions and orbits could help us better understand how our own solar system's gas ...

Planets change orbit shape around Neptune’s size. Metal-rich stars help giant planets form. Eccentric orbits suggest chaotic planet formation.

The planets are all too hot for life as we know it, but astronomers haven’t given up searching for more planets in Barnard's ...

Astronomers have identified a quartet of small rocky planets orbiting Barnard's star - one of our closest stellar neighbors - ...

In research highlighted in a new paper, published today in The Astrophysical Journal, Scientia Senior Lecturer Ben Montet and PhD candidate Brendan McKee analysed changes in the timing of a known ...

Considered a solitary star for its lack of stellar companions, Barnard's Star is notoriously lonely—signs of any exoplanets ...

A new study by Rice University researchers Sho Shibata and Andre Izidoro presents a compelling new model for the formation of ...
