A recent study has uncovered a dramatic interaction between a planet and its parent star that is reshaping our understanding ...

Long theorized but never observed, the first known “planet with a death wish” is described by Ilin and her colleagues in a ...

The first ever recorded 'planet with a death wish' orbits so close to its host star that it triggers huge flares of radiation ...

Stars often whip their planets with solar winds and radiation, pull them ever closer with gravity and sear them with heat.

Astronomers using the European Space Agency's Cheops mission have caught an exoplanet that seems to be triggering flares of ...

The clingy planet orbits so close to its star, it triggers powerful explosions of radiation that eat away at its atmosphere.

However, all is not lost. Their ultra-accurate simulations of the gravity field offer guidance toward a new mathematical foundation of gravity modelling. An upgraded simulator, which accounts for ...

What can Earth-sized exoplanets teach scientists about the formation and evolution of exoplanets throughout the cosmos? This is what a study recently posted to the arXiv preprint server hopes to ...
