Are Hot Jupiters Lonely?
A new study finds that Hot Jupiters have companion planets in the system at a higher rate than previously thought. This has big implications for the theories on how these fascinating planets, and their larger systems, form.

Now we can do science with 5000+ exoplanets, and Dr. Jessie Christiansen is going to tell us how! Read the interview with the #AAS241 keynote speaker now!
The biggest exoplanets could have heat in their deep interiors – what impacts might that have on their atmospheres?
Today’s paper explores a promising method for detecting and constraining exoplanetary magnetic fields: measuring their effects on a host star’s radio emission during transits.
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.
Happy Pride Month! Today we talk with Dr. Kaitlin Rasmussen, a cutting-edge astronomer pushing the boundaries of both science *and* gender.
