| No exoplanets have been imaged directly, so astronomers are working out their sizes and dynamics by their effect on their parent stars. |
|
| Nevertheless, this unique observing technique opens a new phase in the exploration of exoplanets, or extrasolar planets, say astronomers. |
|
| No planet beyond the solar system, known as exoplanets, has been seen by optical telescopes. |
|
| When astronomers study all those exoplanets and the systems they inhabit, it is natural to look to our own solar system as a template for other planetary systems. |
|
| As of November 10, 2015, more than 5,000 exoplanets have been discovered, some of them in the 484 known multiplanetary systems. |
|
| But the method requires very precise measurements over long periods of time, and until now, has failed to turn up any exoplanets. |
|
| Even though COROT-9b is cooler than many other exoplanets, it's probably not habitable. |
|
| The team took follow-up spectra of more than 400 stars hosting over 600 exoplanets. |
|
| Previously, researchers had found water only on exoplanets about the size of Jupiter. |
|
| The cockeyed duo may provide insight into the peculiar orbits of some exoplanets. |
|
| Oceans may also exist on exoplanets and exomoons, including surface oceans of liquid water within a circumstellar habitable zone. |
|
| My research interests include the theory of transiting exoplanets, the development of novel detection techniques, signal detection theory and exomoonology. |
|
| To date almost all exoplanets have been detected indirectly, either from gravitational interaction or the dimming of light as a planet passes in front of its star. |
|
| Exoplanets are the distant offspring of a star beyond our sun, a brown dwarf, or a stellar corpse. |
