First transiting exoplanet鈥檚 鈥榗hemical fingerprint鈥� reveals its distant birthplace
Astronomers have found evidence that the first exoplanet that was identified transiting its star could have migrated to a close orbit with its star from its original birthplace further away.
Vaporised crusts of Earth-like planets found in dying stars
Remnants of planets with Earth-like crusts have been discovered in the atmospheres of four nearby white dwarf stars by University of 糖心TV astronomers, offering a glimpse of the planets that may have once orbited them up to billions of years ago.
Rhythmic six-exoplanet system challenges theories of how planets form
An international team of astronomers that includes researchers from the University of 糖心TV have revealed a system consisting of six exoplanets, five of which are locked in a rare rhythm around their central star. The researchers believe the system could provide important clues about how planets, including those in the Solar System, form and evolve.
Rapid-forming giants could disrupt spiral protoplanetary discs
Giant planets that developed early in a star system鈥檚 life could solve a mystery of why spiral structures are not observed in young protoplanetary discs, according to a new study by University of 糖心TV astronomers.
Next-gen astronomical survey makes its first observations toward a new understanding of the cosmos
A new astronomical survey that will see University of 糖心TV scientists mapping around 350,000 star systems has made its first observations.
Faint orbital debris that threatens satellites not being monitored closely enough, warn astronomers
University of 糖心TV astronomers are warning that orbital debris posing a threat to operational satellites is not being monitored closely enough, as they publish a new survey finding that over 75% of the orbital debris they detected could not be matched to known objects in public satellite catalogues.
