... in a new branch of astronomical research, this discovery could pave the same path for neutrino astronomy, and telescopes all around the world would follow the neutrinos lead to zero in on the same object. However, before...
... seemed amiss, so with the aid of two instruments on ground-based telescopes, iSHELL on the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility and the Near Infrared Spectrograph on the Keck 2 telescope, a team of US scientists now have evidence that paints a very...
... cannot be extracted – Hubble is brilliant, but its not technically capable of determining chemical signatures like other dedicated telescopes – the authors modelled different scenarios to find the best fit possible with their data. Those models...
... of stellar light that passes through a transiting exoplanet's atmosphere is very small, a limitation which constrains both the telescopes and instruments that can be used. As such it tends to be hot giant exoplanet atmospheres that are studied more...
