Warm Jupiters are rewriting the rules of planet formation - showing eccentric orbits that stay strangely aligned with their ...

Astronomers may have uncovered the curious origins of the universe's most curious planets, so-called "double hot Jupiters." The team behind the research hopes their discovery will help find more of ...

Astronomers are investigating a strange class of exoplanets known as eccentric warm Jupiters — massive gas giants that orbit ...

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.

The discovery of an extraordinary multi-planet system has demonstrated that so-called "hot Jupiter" planets may not be lonely ...

Researchers are studying eccentric warm Jupiters, giant exoplanets that follow odd, elongated orbits unlike anything in our solar system.

IMAGE: Artist’s impression of the exoplanet WASP-121 b. It belongs to the class of hot Jupiters. Due to its proximity to the central star, the planet’s rotation is tidally locked to its orbit around ...

Planets do not emit visible light like stars; they shine in the sky because they reflect sunlight. Exoplanets too reflect ...

The WASP-132 system contains a Hot Jupiter (in the foreground), an inner super-Earth (here transiting in front of the orange host star) and the planet WASP-132d, discovered towards the outside of the ...
