Southwest Research Institute scientists propose a new model for the formation of compact exoplanetary systems that contain multiple rocky planets in tight orbits around their star. In this model, ...
Studying the orbits of thousands of exoplanets shows that large planets tend to have elliptical orbits, while smaller planets tend to have more circular orbits. This split coincides with several other ...
When my colleagues and I send them out to explore our solar system, it's important for us to understand the 3D map of our ...
Hot Jupiters, giant planets that circle their stars in just a few days, have long defied simple explanations of how planetary systems grow and evolve. A new tidal “clock” hidden in their orbits is now ...
