Super-Earth Found Near the Habitable Zone of Red Dwarf
A new super-Earth planet was found 37 light years from Earth. Only 37 light-years from Earth, a super-Earth planet has been discovered close to a…

How hospitable are red dwarf stars, the most common and long-lasting stars in our Galaxy? Researchers used Chandra and Hubble data to look at the…
The “SAINT-EX” Observatory, led by scientists from the National Center of Competence in Research NCCR PlanetS of the University of Bern and the University of…
An exoplanet the size of Neptune has been discovered around the young star AU Microscopii, thanks in part to the work of Jonathan Gagné, a…
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, astronomers reveal that red dwarf star TVLM 513-46546 has an amazingly powerful magnetic field. Our Sun is a relatively…
New research from scientists at the University of St Andrews investigates the effect of the magnetic fields of M dwarf stars on potentially habitable Earth-like…
Astronomers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics believe that six percent of red dwarf stars have habitable, Earth-sized planets. Since red dwarfs live much longer…
While studying the brightness of stars in near-infrared light, a team of astronomers discovered several red dwarf binaries with orbital periods significantly shorter than the…
Tidal heating, which is basically gravitational heating of a planet via tides, suggests that the number of habitable planets could be roughly half of what…
