What do the atmospheres of ultra-hot Jupiters and 70s music have in common? A good deal of metal.
Earth’s New Neighbor: Proxima b
Say hello to your new neighbor. Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Sun, has an Earth-mass planet in the habitable zone, but it wasn’t easy to find, and it’s in a bit of a dangerous place.
The Extreme Precision Radial Velocities Workshop
Our current best radial velocities are precise to about 1m/s. How do we make the step towards achieving 10cm/s precision?
The Radial Velocity Method: Current and Future Prospects
Much of what we know today about exoplanets is due to the success of the radial velocity method. Where does it stand now? What is its future?
An Exoplanet’s Fast Spin
Planets in the Solar System with a higher mass spin faster than lower-mass planets. But what about planets in other systems? The authors of this paper make the first measurement of an exoplanet’s spin to compare its spin and mass to Solar System planets.
