Scatter plots of potential candidate in frequency, drift rate and signal-to-noise ratio for each polarization channel. The color and the size for each point represent the value of SNR in
Evolution of the stellar mass-loss rate (𝑀̇ w) and wind velocity (𝑣w) obtained from our 2 M⊙ stellar model. The left panels show the complete evolution of 𝑀̇w and 𝑣w
Triton and Neptune – NASA Neptune’s present axial tilt of approximately 28 deg. with respect to its orbital plane can be explained by collisions that its primordial core may have
Provided they host thick, hydrogen-dominated atmospheres, moons orbiting free-floating exoplanets could retain much of the heat generated deep within their interiors by tidal forces. Led by David Dahlbüdding at the
A diagram depicting habitable zone boundaries across star type with rocky exoplanets from Bohl et al. (2026). The boundaries of the habitable zone shift based on star colour, since different
Hubble drifts over Earth after its release on 19 May 2009 by the crew of the Space Shuttle Atlantis. The crew had performed all planned tasks over the course of
Rocky Worlds Director’s Discretionary Program The Rocky Worlds DDT Core Implementation Team (CIT) will soon launch the Rocky Worlds DDT Data Challenge, aimed at engaging the community in the analysis
NIRPS RV timeseries of TOI-4552 (top) along with the corresponding periodograms (bottom). Due to the BERV overlap issue discussed in Section 4.2, we masked a small number of pixels from
The European Space Agency’s mission to discover Earth-like exoplanets, Plato, is now sealed in the Large Space Simulator (LSS) chamber at ESA’s Test Centre for a series of vital tests
