Category Archives: Expert Opinions. Opportunities and Obstacles for Life on Proxima b. August 28, 2016. By Prof. Rory Barnes, University of Washington. The discovery of Proxima b is the biggest exoplanet discovery since the discovery of exoplanets. The planet is not much bigger than Earth and resides in the “habitable zone” of the Sun’s nearest stellar neighbor. This planet may represent humanity’s best chance to search for life among the stars. But is Proxima b habitable? So what to make of Proxima b?

Terrestrial Planets over the Next Decade. March 26, 2016. By Don Pollaco, Warwick University, UK. There can be no doubt that NASA’s Kepler mission. Has been a resounding success. In particular, much of what we know about rocky planets has come from this mission. After saying that, ground-based radial velocity surveys had already indicated the existence of super-Earths—a class of planet not found in our solar system (ignoring Planet 9! The commonality of multi-planet systems. Almost as impressive has been...

Transiting exoplanets from the Wide Angle Search for Planets. Observations of cool WASP planets. A new paper by Joshua Kammer et al. Reports observations of 5 transiting hot-Jupiter planets with the. Space Telescope. The. Infra-red observations looked for the occultation of the planet, when it passes behind its host star. By comparing the observed emission in and out of the occultation one can deduce the temperature of the planet’s atmosphere. The plot shows the brightness ratio in the two pass-bands aga...
