Polka-Dotted Stars: Searching for Spots on KOI-340
Today’s authors search for polka dots of concentrated magnetic flux on the surface of a subgiant star.
Finding young exoplanets with machine learning
Astronomers have a challenging task ahead of them — to find young exoplanets in protoplanetary disks. Machine Learning could potentially come to the rescue.
Searching for planets that formed a long time ago in a galaxy not so far away
So far, astronomers have no confirmed detections of planets outside our Galaxy. Today’s paper searches for planets of extragalactic origin, from a dwarf galaxy that has since merged into the Milky Way halo.
JWST’s First Images
Following yesterday’s release of the First JWST Deep Field, more images from JWST’s first release were shared today. Today’s bite takes a look at the five targets and their histories.
Planets on a Magnetic Roller Coaster Ride
Fabienne Nail writes about how magnetic fields can make modelling atmospheric escape for TRAPPIST-1e and other exoplanets much more difficult.
