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

Introducing a proto hot Jupiter. This new world is called TIC 241249530 b and it lies about 1,100 light-years away from us. Instead of circling its star in an almost circular elliptical orbit ...

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 ...

Of the known exoplanets, there are approximately 500 known hot Jupiters—hot, gaseous exoplanets. Even lesser-known are companion planets to hot Jupiters—planets that orbit the same star as a ...

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.

Science; Jupiter 'Hot Jupiter' planet discovered 1,000 light years away that's 'on edge of destruction' The mysterious planet is about a billion years old and similar in size and composition to ...

Since the first hot Jupiter was discovered in 1995, astronomers have been trying to figure out how the searing-hot exoplanets formed and arrived in their extreme orbits. Johns Hopkins University ...

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.

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 … ...
