Simulated transmission spectrum for warm exo-Titan TRAPPIST-1e (pCH4 = 3 × 10−2 bar) forced by D. J. Wilson et al. (2021) SED. — astro-ph.EP The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)
An example of difference image analysis of the known false positive TOI-164.01. Left: average out-of-transit pixel image showing the pixels near TOI-164.01 (the average in-transit image looks very similar). Stars

This graphic compares data collected by Webb’s NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) with computer models of exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 e with (blue) and without (orange) an atmosphere. Narrow colored bands show the most
Large enough to retain an atmosphere and drive geologic/hydrologic cycles, but not so massive that relocation is infeasible. This figure illustrates why planet size and escape velocity are critical factors

Habitable Zones Status Report astro-ph.CO September 15, 2025 Best value of the minimum probability for each cosmology scenario-habitability condition pair mentioned in the text. For each element in this
The companion light curve in two continuum bands interpreted with a pulsar direct heating model. (a) The models are shown by the curves and the data are shown by the
Amplification of the successor function under varying initial conditions. For each pixel in the heatmap, 100 soups containing 5000 expressions are run for 106 collisions. We measure the number of
