we conclude that stellar activity does not impact infrared transiting exoplanet observations of most presently-known or predicted TESS targets by current or near-future platforms, such as JWST.
“Our results showed that the aligned transiting exoplanets are the ones that can be easily misinterpreted as misaligned owing to the stellar activity. Moreover, our study could provide a viable ...
changes in stellar chemistry and increased magnetic activity offer indirect evidence of planet formation in co-moving star pairs. These findings highlight a promising method to detect exoplanets ...
The astronomers' key finding was just how significant stellar activity and contamination are when trying to determine the nature of an exoplanet. Stellar contamination refers to the influence of ...
The planet’s interior properties and the strong stellar ... tectonic activity has never been observed on a planet outside our solar system, but now a new study suggests that exoplanet LHS ...
With 10 times the mass of our planet, and spending only part of its orbit in the habitable zone, Kepler-725c is very ...
This is why follow up observations are so important to confirm exoplanet detections ... using the fact that distortions from stellar activity are much more apparent in the near-UV and visible ...
When these exoplanets were discovered in 2016 ... Such signatures of stellar activity are difficult to model but we need to account for them to ensure that we interpret the data correctly.” ...
Its scope will include the detection, demographics, and physical characteristics of exoplanets, solar system observations relevant to Astro2020, astrobiology, stellar phenomena and activity that ...
