A nice little Bayesian look for planets orbiting low-luminosity giants, with new planetary systems, planet confirmations, and other interesting cases. We uncover some evidence for the same two giant planet populations that we found orbiting dwarf stars!

Our continuing study of the atmosphere of the ultrahot Neptune LTT9779b led by our postdoc Dr Saha. This world is the gift that keeps on giving, a priceless laboratory that is teaching us about the basic conditions of planet formation and evolution!!

@terepaneque Felicitaciones Dra. Paneque!!

@nespinozap I remember that day lad, a lovely seminar followed by a nice long Q&A there!!

@MuchoGustoMEGA Por la escala Saffir Simpson, vientos de 120 km/hr son categorizados como ciclones Tipo 1, entonces estamos viendo cosas realmente fuertes aquí!!

@nespinozap Felicitaciones lad!!

[James S. Jenkins @[email protected] @ProfDoubleJ]

@mustapipa Yes, shocking for sure, and still not fully under control after a week of burning!!

Throughout the years I have had the pleasure to meet, and indeed work with, some brilliant and motivated young researchers, and today another from our group earned his stripes.

Congratulations Dr. Vines on some excellent work this afternoon, and over the past few years!!

Another first! Our Parker Solar Probe flew through an eruption from the Sun, and saw it “vacuuming up” space dust left over from the formation of the solar system. It's giving @NASASun scientists a better look at space weather and its potential effects on Earth. https://t.co/YLK2pokx4j

Cue the hyperbolic overreactions to the ‘possible’ discovery of debris from a ‘possible’ interstellar interloper that made its way to Earth.

Remember, we have been chemically studying known extrasolar systems for years, with hundreds of ALMA papers on the subject for example!!

Excelente columna de @ezetre
destacando los desarrollos tecnológicos que los laboratorios asociados al Centro de Astrofísica y Tecnologías Afines (CATA) le están contribuyendo a los grandes observatorios internacionales en Chile.

New York Times article on the high albedo of the enigmatic planet LTT9779b!!

[Vivien Parmentier @V_Parmentier]

We found a shining mirror in the desert !
Glass and metal clouds on a planet that shouldn't be there makes LTT9779b shiner than Venus.

How is that possible ? How do we know this ?

A rare planet we discovered a few years back has now given us more insights into the nature of hot Neptunes. We turned the eye of @ESA_CHEOPS to LTT9779b, Cuancoa, and found a world likely covered with metallic clouds, possibly hosting titanium rain!!

Can you spot your reflection in this exoplanet?🪩

Our @ESA_CHEOPS mission has spotted an ultra-hot planet outside of our Solar System which is covered by reflective clouds of metal, making it the shiniest exoplanet ever found.
