International Planet Hunters Unveil TESS-Keck Survey Catalog Of Strange New Worlds

by Keith CowingMay 23, 2024May 23, 2024

While thousands of planets have been discovered around other stars, relatively little is known about them. A NASA catalog featuring 126 exotic, newly discovered worlds includes detailed measurements that allow […]

We highlight the disparate architectures of the highest-known multiplicity planetary systems, as well as a few systems similar to TOI-1136. We highlight that the candidate seventh planet in TOI-1136 does not have a confidently detected orbital distance. Planet and stellar radii are scaled for comparison to other systems, though we emphasize that the planet-star size is not to scale. None of the systems exhibits a clear analog to any of the others, and all have the potential for very interesting, future study. -- UC Irvine
