An investigation, carried out by the astrophysicists of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), questions one of the ...

A planet circling at a sharp 90-degree angle to the orbits of its two host stars has now been confirmed. This discovery ...

The orbit’s orientation — the line connecting the closest and farthest points — shifts slowly over time in a process known as apsidal precession. In 2M1510, this precession is happening ...

The observatories also measure absolute strength using Overhauser proton precession magnetometers (GEM Systems GSM-90), with a sampling rate of either 1, 5 or 10 s. Weekly absolute observations ensure ...

The Milky Way is known to host a diverse array of planetary systems, providing astronomers with extensive insights into how ...

“That is an effect that is known to happen. Mercury's precession was a test of general relativity back in the early 20th century. In the case of Mercury, the precession is positive or ...

Within the office, a poster celebrating the original discovery of 2M1510’s two brown dwarfs is on the wall, while diagrams and patterns showing the apsidal precession of the brown dwarf’s ...
