Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered that one of the closest "hot Jupiter" planets to ...

Astronomers have discovered the strange dance that leads to the creation of rare "double hot Jupiters" in binary star systems ...

Yale astronomers may have discovered the origin story for one of the universe's most dazzling phenomena—the double hot Jupiter—as well as a plan to find more of them.

How hot Jupiters form and evolve is one of the oldest questions in exoplanet research. Jupiter-like exoplanets that are blisteringly close to their parent stars were long thought to be friendless ...

While Jupiter takes 4,000 Earth days to complete one orbit around the sun, hot Jupiters complete one orbit every few days. Scientists believe the large planets begin by orbiting their stars from a ...

Last week, astronomers announced that a hot Jupiter orbiting a star 400 light years away has a pal: It shares its solar system with WASP-84c, a rocky planet so large it’s known as a super-Earth.

While our Jupiter is far away from the sun, hot Jupiters are gas giant planets that closely orbit stars outside our solar system for an orbital period of less than 10 days.

In the hunt for planets outside of our own solar system, scientists have spotted a number of interesting planet types that we simply don’t have … ...

Hot Jupiters are giant planets initially known to orbit alone close to their star. During their migration towards their star, these planets were thought to accrete or eject any other planets present.

Of all the types of exoplanets researchers have discovered in recent years with ever more powerful telescope technology, the so-called “hot Jupiters” might be the … ...
