Using data gathered by NSF’s Gemini South telescope and the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have detected signatures of methane (CH4), water (H2O) and silane (SiH4) gas on the cold brown dwarf WISEA J153429.75-104303.3 (W1534 for short). Although silane is expected to serve as a key reservoir for the cloud-forming element silicon in gasContinue Reading
Astronomers are working their way through the TRAPPIST-1 system with the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, demonstrating its unprecedented ability to capture detailed information about exoplanet atmospheres and learning to work with that data. The first results are now in from Webb’s observations of TRAPPIST-1e. While the initial four observations by Webb are not enoughContinue Reading
