WASP-104b
WASP-104b is a hot Jupiter — a gaseous planet the size of Jupiter — that lies 466 light-years from Earth in the constellation Leo. Its particularity is that it is as dark as coal. In fact, this is precisely how Continue Reading
WASP-103b
WASP-103 b is a gaseous exoplanet, more specifically a hot Jupiter, located in the constellation Hercules orbiting the star WASP-103. It has an oval shape, similar to that of a rugby ball, thanks to the force of gravity exerted by Continue Reading
WASP-93b
WASP-93 b is a gas giant exoplanet orbiting an F-type star. Its mass is 1.47 Jupiter, it takes 2.7 days to complete an orbit of its star and it is 0.04211 AU from its star. Its discovery was announced in Continue Reading
Kepler-12b
Kepler-12, also known as KIC 11804465 in the Kepler Input Catalog, is a late G-type F star. This strongly corresponds to a solar-type dwarf star reaching the end of the main sequence, and is about to become a red giant. Continue Reading
Kepler-15b
Kepler-15b is an exoplanet orbiting the star Kepler-15. It was discovered in 2011 by the Kepler satellite using the astronomical transit method and later confirmed by the Hobby-Eberly telescope. It is a gaseous planet of somewhat smaller proportions than the Continue Reading
Kepler-17b
Kepler-17b is an exoplanet orbiting the star Kepler-17 in the constellation Cygnus (from the swan). It is a gas giant of the type called hot Jupiter. It has an orbital period of just under a day and a half, which Continue Reading
Kepler-20c
Kepler-20c is an discovered planet that is similar in size to Neptune. Despite being the third farthest planet from the star Kepler-20, it has a lower orbit than Mercury, meaning it is a hot Neptune. Along with the other four Continue Reading
Qatar-2b
Kepler-12, also known as KIC 11804465 in the Kepler Input Catalog, is an early G-type star F Qatar-2 b is a gas giant exoplanet orbiting a K-type star. Its mass is 2.494 Jupiter, it takes 1.3 days to complete an Continue Reading
Qatar-1b
Qatar-1b is a hot Jupiter orbiting a metal-rich K dwarf star, the first planet discovered by the Alsubai Project exoplanet transit method. The strategy used to select candidates for transiting planets from the photometry generated by the Alsubai Project instrument Continue Reading
