Uniformly derived stellar parameters are vital for exoplanet demographic studies because they directly influence the inferred planetary masses, radii, and bulk densities. This study presents a new hom...

The Kepler mission and its follow-on K2 discovered thousands of exoplanets around different types of stars, and new work reveals broader trends in the planetary populations of the Milky Way.

The email asking you to referee your first paper is coming. Here's a practical, step-by-step guide for that exact moment, built from the AAS peer review workshop.

Frontier AI agents show increasing promise as scientific research assistants, and may eventually be useful for extended, open-ended research workflows. However, in order to use agents for novel resear...

Our ability to observe, detect, and characterize exoplanetary atmospheres has grown by leaps and bounds over the last 20 years, aided largely by developments in astronomical instrumentation; improveme...

We uniformly combined data from the NASA Kepler and K2 missions to compute planet occurrence rates across the entire FGK and M dwarf stellar range. The K2 mission, driven by targets selected by guest ...

Astronomers find complex organic molecules – precursors to sugars and amino acids – in a planet-forming disc.

We always say we're made of stardust, but are we actually made out of our star's dust? Today's paper discusses the link between stellar composition, and their host planet composition, in order to answ...
