In the latest of our #UndergradResearch series, discover how Yash Gondhalekar optimized periodogram searches to more effectively find small transiting planets!
Free-floating planets are hard to explain. Can the messy evolution of tilted planetary systems around binary stars help?
M dwarf stars host single planet systems (only child) and multi-planet systems (siblings). Let’s explore the differences!

Could we detect exomoons through transmission spectroscopy of exoplanets? Today’s authors seek to understand if HIP 41378 f could potentially host an exomoon!
Our own Sun holds the keys to our understanding of how stellar activity signals present in radial velocity data sets. Now four international spectrograph teams have joined forces to combine data.
Astronomers still aren’t completely certain how Hot Jupiters form. Today’s paper presents a population level study that suggests HJs form far away from their host star, and are herded inwards by dynamical interactions with coplanar outer giant companions.
