Liquid Water on Exomoons beneath Sunless Skies
Could there be life in an obscure place, such as around a free floating planet, a so-called rogue? Today’s paper looks at the possibility of liquid water on moons of starless planets!

Lightcurve folding is frequently used to make signals in the data clearer. Today’s author describes a novel way to use the folding method to pick out exomoon signals from exoplanet transit lightcurves.
The search for exomoons orbiting rogue planets.
Most planets in our solar system have multiple moons, from Mars’ 2 to Saturn’s ~82. Today’s paper explores the stability and detectability of multi-”exomoon” systems orbiting planets beyond our solar system.
There might be a huge discovery for the exoplanet community! The author of today’s paper made his own investigation on the discovery.
The absence of dusty circumplanetary disks around young giant planets suggests moonetesimals grow relatively quickly.
