A new analytical transmission model incorporating pressure-dependent opacity improves interpretation of exoplanet atmospheres and supports data analysis from JWST and the upcoming ARIEL mission.
How any Earth-sized exoplanets exist, and how do we find them? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to address | Space ...
The first clue came from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, TESS, launched in 2018 to watch large areas of sky for tiny, repeating dips in starlight. Each dip marks a transit and reveals an ...
