A team led by UdeM researchers confirms a fifth potentially habitable planet around L 98-59, a red dwarf 35 light-years away.

A rocky planet with a 24-hour orbit and an ice giant that takes five years to complete its orbit have been detected orbiting ...

Scientists have confirmed a potentially habitable fifth planet in the nearby L 98-59 system, revealing a diverse collection ...

Using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has detected a new exoplanet ...

The newfound exoplanet, called Kepler-139f, is a gigantic world roughly twice the mass of Neptune and 35 times the mass of ...

A super-Earth exoplanet has been detected within the habitable zone of a nearby red dwarf star, where liquid water might ...

These two techniques, the radial velocity and transit methods, respectively, have revealed 93 percent of all verified exoplanets. This artist’s view shows 51 Pegasi b, the first exoplanet ...

It will boast radial velocity precision of 0.35 km/h (0.22 mph) or less, giving it the ability to discover Earth-mass planets in the habitable zone of low-mass stars.

The radial velocity method is more forgiving of observational gaps caused by daylight or poor weather and is thus better suited for Earth-based observatories. This technique uses spectroscopy to ...
