The K2-3 system is one of the most unique planetary systems as it features three transiting sub-Neptunes in decreasing order of radii, ...

Raman spectroscopy has been explored for planetary exploration, particularly through the SHERLOC instrument for Mars habitability ...

Using this model, the maximum depths of the western, central, and eastern basins were 10,926 m, 10,912 m, and 10,927 m, respectively. The study therefore gives 10,927 m as its preferred estimate of ...

This starry view of the nearby star-forming region IC 348 is one of the largest images from JWST released to the public so far.

The chemical compositions of planets and their hosts stars are intrinsically linked, having formed from the same protostellar material ...

[astro-ph.EP] Measuring M dwarf ages is a central challenge in stellar astrophysics. These stars evolve so slowly that isochrone fitting gives little constraint, requiring alternative methods based on ...

Cosmic rays can significantly alter the abundances of certain species in the upper layers of planetary atmospheres ...

Epsilon Eridani b, the nearest known Jupiter analog, has its orbit and mass constrained from radial velocity (RV) and ...

Biological individuals on Earth today are cellular, but the simplest cells are too complex to have arisen spontaneously.

The number of rocky extrasolar planets being discovered continues to increase, but so too does the apparent diversity of such worlds.

Scientists from Trinity College Dublin have developed a powerful way to unravel the changing weather patterns on distant worlds.

Numerous attempts to detect glycine, a simple amino acid and a key building block of proteins in all life on Earth ...
