A fluffy, Jupiter-sized planet may be triggering deadly flares from its star, leading to the slow destruction of its own atmosphere.

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

Astronomers confirm TOI-5573 b, a rare, miniature Saturn-like planet orbiting a small star, challenging theories of planetary ...

A decades-old pursuit to explore for life beyond Earth has received new impetus with a recent discovery that promises to simplify and make routine the task of searching for life on distant planets ...

In the remote outer reaches of planetary systems, far beyond the orbit of known planets, enormous and mysterious worlds silently loop around their stars. Some drift as far as 10,000 times the ...
