The transforming exoplanet that was observed by the WIYN 3.5-meter telescope at the U.S. National Science Foundation Kitt ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Scorching ''hot-Jupiters" sometimes orbit their parent stars along wonky orbits. Astronomers are trying to understand why — and if it happens in our own Solar System.

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 … ...

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.

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 ...
