a novel technique on NASA data to uncover a previously hidden planet, revealing a world once thought out of reach. NASA’s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) has identified a distant exoplanet hidden in its archive by exploiting a detection...

classifying it as a “super‑Jupiter.” Initial hints of the planet emerged from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), and an international team led by researchers at Queen’s University Belfast spent several years gathering the data needed...

stars are born. The companion, designated HIP 61637 b, was first flagged by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and later examined in a study posted on arXiv. Its well‑determined mass, orbital characteristics, stellar host, and age place...

as a centralized repository for established transit-vetting algorithms originally designed for missions like Kepler, K2, and TESS. Because the package is modular and mission-agnostic, astronomers can run individual vetting tests separately or combine...

unveiling a potential gas giant in the process. By analyzing data from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), researchers investigated the behavior of Delta Scuti stars, which oscillate with a regularity that acts as a cosmic metronome,...

architecture of the whole system. Tracking the TOI‑1710 system. Astronomers combined observations from the NEID instrument, TESS, and other telescopes to study the planet’s orbit. The data revealed the planet’s tilted path, confirmed its transit signal,...

of reflected light. By synthesizing historical data from the Kepler Space Telescope with fresh measurements from NASA’s TESS mission taken six years later, researchers detected an unexpected phase shift in this light modulation. A graphic showing how...

before tidal interactions eventually force it to stabilize. Data gathered by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) between 2019 and 2024 allowed researchers to map the shifting geometry of the planet’s transit. Their findings, published in...

Case for a Reborn World The team’s evidence is further bolstered by data from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). Observations revealed a subtle, periodic brightness oscillation every 4.399 days. This cycle, which has an amplitude of...

Irregularity The unusual nature of the planet first emerged through data from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). By monitoring dips in stellar brightness, scientists identified the planet’s rapid two-day orbital period. However, it was...

far more complex than those observed in our cosmic neighborhood. An Orbital Mismatch Around a Red Dwarf Detected via NASA’s TESS space telescope, GJ 3090 b is classified as a sub-Neptune—a world roughly 2.2 times the size of Earth with a mass...

massive. Upon reviewing data from NASA’s Exoplanet Archive and comparing it with stellar activity metrics from NASA’s TESS spacecraft, the team discovered a striking trend: all eight of these dense planets orbit stars that are magnetically active. The...

Hubble Space Telescope imaging, spectroscopy from the Southern African Large Telescope, and photometry from NASA’s TESS mission. This multi‑wavelength approach delivered the first definitive confirmation of the binary components behind the helium nova....
