methane-dominated atmosphere like Saturn's largest moon Titan, said APL exoplanet researcher Jacob Lustig-Yaeger. But the data still pins the team between two bookend possibilities: a planet with no ...

When a planet gets that close to its host star, it can have its atmosphere stripped away by the star’s heat and radiation. In the case of the recently discovered exoplanet LHS 475 b ...

The data shows that the exoplanet is an Earth-sized terrestrial (not water covered) world, but it is not known if it has an atmosphere. “The observatory’s data are beautiful,” noted Erin May ...

Researchers confirmed an exoplanet, a planet that orbits another ... The team attempted to assess what is in the planet's atmosphere by analyzing its transmission spectrum. Although the data ...

Exoplanet LH 475b has a radius about 99 percent the size of Earth’s, but that rocky radius is surrounded by either a choking atmosphere of carbon dioxide — or the vacuum of space, according to ...

“The exoplanet community is just giddy at the ... of a gas giant planet’s host star filtering through the world’s atmosphere. Known as transmission spectroscopy, this technique is incredibly ...
