Kepler-452b is an exoplanet orbiting a G-type star approximately 1,400 light-years from Earth. It’s notable as a super-Earth within its star's habitable zone, suggesting potential for liquid water on its surface. Scientists study this planet to understand the characteristics of potentially habitable...
WASP-127b is a transiting exoplanet classified as a "hot Saturn" due to its mass being roughly equivalent to Saturn's, despite being significantly larger in radius. Discovered in 2016, it orbits a G-type star and possesses a heavily inflated, low-density atmosphere. Spectroscopic observations have s...
Pi Mensae c is an exoplanet orbiting the G-type main-sequence star Pi Mensae, located approximately 60 light-years from Earth. Discovered in 2018 by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), it holds the distinction of being the very first exoplanet candidate identified by the mission. It...
WASP-19b is a hot Jupiter exoplanet with one of the shortest known orbital periods of any exoplanet, completing an orbit around its G-type host star in approximately 0.789 days, or roughly 19 hours. It was discovered by the Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) survey and its discovery was published...
HD 80606 b is a gas giant exoplanet orbiting the star HD 80606, which together with HD 80607 forms a binary star system approximately 190 light-years from Earth. Discovered in 2001 through radial velocity measurements, the planet has one of the most eccentric orbits of any known exoplanet, with an e...
HAT-P-13b is a transiting hot Jupiter discovered by the HATNet survey and announced in 2009. It circles its Sun-like host star in a short-period orbit, while the same system contains a more distant and substantially more eccentric companion detected through radial-velocity measurements. The system h...
Pi Mensae b is a massive gas-giant exoplanet detected by the radial-velocity method and announced in 2001. It follows a long, highly eccentric orbit around Pi Mensae, a nearby G-type star, carrying it through a wide range of distances from its host. The system also contains the close-orbiting transi...
Mu Arae b is a gas-giant exoplanet orbiting Mu Arae, a G-type star roughly 50 light-years from Earth. It was detected through radial-velocity measurements made with the CORALIE spectrograph and announced in 2000. The planet travels on an orbit lasting several hundred days, and it belongs to a multip...
