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.

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 ...

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

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

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

[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 ...

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

High-contrast imaging with Keck/NIRC2 reveals that KOI-1623A has a close companion with a separation of 0.704±0.002 arcsec, consisting of a slightly evolved G-type primary and a K-dwarf secondary, ...

Binding energies of molecules on ice mantles are important to understand the evolution of molecular complexity in molecular clouds.

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