Beta Pictoris b is a gas giant exoplanet orbiting the young star Beta Pictoris. It’s notable as one of the first exoplanets directly imaged using adaptive optics technology. This allows scientists to study its formation and composition within a debris disk surrounding the A-type star. The planet is...
HR 8799 c is a gas giant exoplanet discovered orbiting the young A-type star HR 8799. It’s notable as one of the first planets directly imaged around another star and part of a multi-planet system. This planet, approximately twice the size of Jupiter, offers scientists a unique opportunity to study...
HR 8799 e is a gas giant exoplanet discovered orbiting the young star HR 8799. Its significance lies as the innermost planet within a confirmed multi-planet system – the first such system directly imaged. This inner giant, located approximately 129 light-years away, offers valuable insights for astr...
HR 8799 d is a gas giant exoplanet located approximately 129 light-years from Earth. It’s notable as one of the first planets directly imaged around an A-type star and part of a multi-planet system discovered through direct imaging techniques. This planet orbits a young, Sun-like star and offers val...
HIP 65426 b is a directly imaged gas giant exoplanet orbiting the young star HIP 65426 about 385 light-years away, discovered in 2017 using the SPHERE instrument on the Very Large Telescope.
A very hot Jupiter orbiting a bright A-type star, studied intensively by ESA's CHEOPS mission and among the hottest known exoplanets with dayside temperatures near 3,400 K.
