An international team of astronomers has recently confirmed the discovery of a super- Neptune exoplanet orbiting a star that closely resembles the Sun.
A recent discovery by a team of astronomers led by Amadeo Castro-González of the Astrobiology Center in Madrid, Spain, has confirmed the existence of another exoplanet originally found by the TESS mission. “In this study, we utilized data from TESS, HARPS, PEST, and TRAPPIST-South to validate the planetary status of TOI-5005 b and analyze its orbital and physical characteristics,” the researchers stated in their publication.boasts a radius 6.25 times greater than that of Earth and a mass 32.7 times larger than Earth’s, giving it a density of 0.74 g/cm3.
In the 3-5-day orbital period range, a recently identified overdensity of Neptunes is causing them to be separated.
