The recent discovery of "ultrahot" (P < 1 day) Neptunes has come as a surprise: some of these planets have managed to retain gaseous envelopes despite being close enough to their host stars to trigger ...
This would improve road access to LTT, which is currently accessed via Tilak Nagar on the Harbour Line. Mumbai, India - April 16, 2025: Slums have occupied railway land which will soon be demolished.
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected water vapor and thick clouds on LTT 9779 b, an ultra-hot Neptune locked in a ...
Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered an exoplanet, LTT 9779 b, that challenges current ideas about how planets form. This world, which belongs to a rare class of “hot ...
LTT 9779 b, nearly 30 times Earth's mass, is certainly extreme. It's tidally locked to its star — like the moon is locked to Earth — meaning that one side of it incessantly seared by its star ...
LTT 9779 b is nearly 3,630 degrees Fahrenheit (2,000 Celsius) on its dayside. That's hotter than lava. The research team peered at LTT 9779 b for 22 hours, using an instrument on the Webb telescope ...
LTT 9779 b, an ultra-hot Neptune, is defying expectations. With temperatures soaring to nearly 2,000°C and a tidally locked orbit, one side faces eternal fire while the other remains in shadow. Yet, ...
LTT 9779 b is notable for sitting in the so-called “hot Neptune desert,” a region unusually devoid of planets that are Neptune-sized but orbit their stars at extremely close distances. “Finding a ...
Artist’s illustration of LTT 9779 b, whose dayside is cloud-free from the intense temperatures since the exoplanet is tidally locked with its star, and a cloudy nightside due to much cooler ...
LTT 9779 b resides in the "hot Neptune desert," where exceptionally few such planets are known to exist. While giant planets orbiting very close to their host stars-often called "hot Jupiters"-are ...
