Stellar multiplicity is a key aspect of exoplanet diversity, as the presence of more than one star in a planetary system can have both devastating and positive effects on its […]
An overview of the Electronic FieldBook tool suite, equipment that the ESA PANGAEA 2023 course trainers will use intensively during the traverses on the island of Lanzarote.
Editor’s note: When we send Away Teams on Astrobiology and Astrogeology expeditions to other worlds they are going to need to be rather self-contained. Indeed the bulk of their preliminary […]
Engineers are working to stabilize a dust cover on one of the science instrument’s cameras.
Cool gaseous exoplanets (1.75 R⊕<Rp<3 RJ, 200 K <Teq<1000~K) are an as-yet understudied population, with great potential to expand our understanding of planetary atmospheres and formation mechanisms.
This photo was selected by public vote and featured as “Image of the Week” for Week 156 (Feb. 4 – 10, 2024) of the Perseverance rover mission on Mars.
In the recent Astro2020 Decadal Report, ”Pathways to Discovery in Astronomy and Astrophysics for the 2020s” Adaptive Optics (AO) was identified as a crucial technology for a variety of reasons. […]
The extreme environments of ultra-short-period planets (USPs) make excellent laboratories to study how exoplanets obtain, lose, retain, and/or regain gaseous atmospheres.
Though efforts to detect them have been made with a variety of methods, no technique can claim a successful, confirmed detection of a moon outside the Solar System yet.
