In the #AAS246 Plenary Lecture, IPAC Senior Scientist and NExScI: Exoplanet Science Institute Caltech IPAC Deputy Director David Ciardi stepped up to the plate to discuss all things exoplanets 🪐 Ciardi took over for Sean Carey, IPAC Senior Scientist and NEO Surveyor Task Lead, who could no longer attend.

A Giant Planet Orbiting a Tiny Star🐁🦖 One of this week's four new planets is TOI-6894 b, a sub-Saturn-mass planet orbiting a low-mass red dwarf—the smallest known star to host a transiting giant planet. We also have seven more spectra for five planets! exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu

1 Million ExoFOP Files and Counting! 📈🤯 Since 2008, the Exoplanet Follow-up Observing Program has helped researchers share data, and it now has over 1 million user-submitted files! We at NExScI are grateful for your support. Here's to the next million! ipac.caltech.edu/news/exoplanet…

Come work with NExScI: Exoplanet Science Institute Caltech IPAC Chief Scientist Jessie Christiansen and the Roman Galactic Exoplanet Survey Project Infrastructure Team (RGES PIT)! In this three-year postdoc, you'll produce a statistical census of planets in orbits beyond >1AU for Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. aas.org/jobregister/ad…

Five Planets and Eight Spectra This week, the #NASAExoArchive added Kepler-725 c, a planet of 10 Earth masses located in its Sun-like star's optimistic habitable zone, and also spectra for TRAPPIST-1 c, WASP-96 b, & nearby sub-stellar object WISE J1049 b. exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu

The survey is still open! Even if you've attended just one Sagan workshop, please take 5-8 minutes to respond to the survey. You do not need to be registered for this year's workshop to share your thoughts and experiences: bit.ly/4h23sVa

Seven Planets and a Planet Candidate Directly Imaged by JWST The #NASAExoArchive added planet candidate TWA 7 b, a Saturn-mass object observed by NASA Webb Telescope. We've also added KOI-134 b & c, which also had some press coverage due to their unique orbits. exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu

Today's exoplanet drop at the #NASAExoArchive: 🪐Proxima Cen d found in ESO's NIRPS data! 🪐Low-mass L 98-59 f found in the habitable zone! 🪐32 more #NASATESS discoveries! We also have new transmission spectra for WASP-94 A b. exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu

Registration for #IRSpaceSpectroscopy closes this week!⏱️ If you're planning to attend in person, register by midnight PDT this Friday, Aug. 1, 2025 to secure your spot and avoid a $50 late registration fee. conference.ipac.caltech.edu/IRSpaceSpectro…

Direct Imaging of an Alpha Cen A Candidate and Five New Planets! We've added JWST observations of a candidate Saturn-mass planet orbiting Alpha Cen A in our closest star system. This week's new planets bring our count to 5,972—just 28 short of 6,000!🤩 exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu

Get Jazzed About BEBOP!🎷🥁🎶 This week's 11 new planets include BEBOP-3 b, a circumbinary planet discovered through radial velocities—the first RV exoplanet detection of a previously unknown circumbinary system. exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu
