Astronomers have discovered an Earth-size planet orbiting an ultracool red dwarf star similar in size to Jupiter. The red dwarf, located some 55 light-years away, is 100 times less bright than the sun ...
This artist’s impression shows a sunset seen from the super-Earth Gliese 667 Cc. Astronomers have estimated that there are tens of billions of such rocky worlds orbiting faint red dwarf stars in the ...
A nearby white dwarf is carving a colourful shockwave through space, puzzling astronomers and raising new questions about how ...
Many exoplanet scientists believe if life exists on other worlds, humanity will likely find evidence on a rocky world orbiting a red dwarf star. Credit: NASA / JPL / Ames Research Center / Daniel ...
Even though exoplanet science has advanced significantly in the last decade or two, we're still in an unfortunate situation. Scientists can only make educated guesses about which exoplanets may be ...
Scott Wolk's research, presented at the 245th American Astronomical Society meeting, focused on the X-ray emissions of Wolf 359, a red dwarf star approximately 8 light-years from Earth, to assess the ...
A gas giant exoplanet with the density of a marshmallow has been detected in orbit around a cool red dwarf star by the NASA-funded NEID radial-velocity instrument on the 3.5-meter WIYN Telescope at ...
