    Unique Exoplanet Photobombs CHEOPS study of Nearby Star System

    June 29, 2021, Categories  Astronomy/Space

    This infographic reveals the details of the Nu2 Lupi planetary system. This bright, Sun-like star is located just under 50 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Lupus (the Wolf), as shown to the left of the frame, and is known to host three planets (named ‘b’, ‘c’ and ‘d’, with the star deemed to be object ‘A’). The relative sizes, orbital periods, and possible compositions of these three planets are depicted to the centre and lower right of the frame, while planet d’s comparative position within our Solar System is shown to the upper right (as defined by the amount of incident light it receives from its star, Nu2 Lupi).© ESA

    A unique six-planet system, 200 light years away from Earth, has been observed around the star TOI-178 by an international research team including scientists from the University of St Andrews.

    The observations were made using the CHEOPS (Characterising ExOPlanets Satellite) space telescope that was launched in December 2019 with the important goal of precisely measuring the size of known planets. However, as this work finds, the spacecraft has the exciting potential to discover new planets.

    CHEOPS is a joint mission by the European Space Agency (ESA) and Switzerland, under the aegis of the University of Bern in collaboration with the University of Geneva and the University of St Andrews.

    The team had believed there ...

    Observations with the space telescope reveal details of the exoplanet WASP-189b – one of the most extreme planets known. Eight months after the space telescope CHEOPS started its journey into space, the first scientific publication using data from CHEOPS has been issued. CHEOPS is the first ESA mission dedicated to characterising known exoplanets. Exoplanets, i.e...
