Precise Mass And Radius Determination For Two New And One Known Neptune-sized Planets Around G Dwarf Hosts
As part of the KESPRINT collaboration, we present the discovery and characterization of three exoplanets in the sub-Neptune to super-Neptune regime, spanning key regions of the exo-Neptunian landscape.

Two Hot sub-Neptunes On A Close-in, eccentric orbit (TOI-5800 b) and a farther-out, circular orbit (TOI-5817 b)
Neptune-sized exoplanets are key targets for atmospheric studies, yet their formation and evolution remain poorly understood due to their diverse characteristics and limited sample size.

Two Neighbours To The Ultra-short-period Earth-sized Planet K2-157 b In The Warm Neptunian Savanna
The formation and evolution of ultra-short-period (USP) planets is poorly understood. However, it is widely thought that these planets migrated inwards through interactions with outer neighbours.

The Fastest Exoplanet System Yet Discovered
Astronomers may have discovered a scrawny star bolting through the middle of our galaxy with a planet in tow. If confirmed, the pair sets a new record for the fastest-moving […]
