GJ 12 b: Earth-sized planet orbiting a quiet M dwarf star

What can Earth-sized exoplanets teach scientists about the formation and evolution of exoplanets throughout the cosmos? This is what a study recently posted to the arXiv preprint server hopes to address as an international team of researchers announced the discovery of an Earth-sized exoplanet that exhibits temperatures and a density comparable to those of Earth.

Super-Earth Formation In Systems With Cold Giants - Astrobiology

Around our Sun, terrestrial planets did not grow beyond Earth in mass, while super-Earths are found to orbit approximately every other solar-like star. It remains unclear what divides these super-Earth systems from those that form terrestrial planets, and what role wide-orbit gas giants play in this process. Here, we show that the key uncertainty is […] The post Super-Earth Formation In Systems With Cold Giants appeared first on Astrobiology.
