In the latest of our #UndergradResearch series, check out high school student Rohan Nagavardhan’s research on using computational techniques to find planets beyond our solar system!
What happens to planets when their host star dies? Today’s authors explore how HR 8799 could become a metal-polluted white dwarf in an unusual planetary system.
Stars are known to experience burst of energy, known as flares. But what happens to biological molecules in the atmospheres of planets when a flare occurs? Today’s paper answers that by adding a bit of “flare” to exoplanets.
Today we interview exoplanet atmosphere researcher extraordinaire Caroline Morley (@AstroCaroline) for her prize plenary talk at #AAS237!
Out of all the stars around us, which ones would be able to find Earth with the transit method? Today’s paper makes a list, which can help us with future SETI efforts!
