  1. 1. Exploring the Diversity of Exoplanets

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Rebecka Svensson; [2021]
    Keywords : Exoplanets; Super-Earth; Sub-Neptune;

    Abstract : The search for extrasolar planets had been ongoing for many years when Mayorand Queloz discovered 51 Pegasi b in 1995. It was a giant gas planet similar to Jupiter, but with a larger radius and of only half of Jupiter’s mass. Theso called Hot Jupiter was observed to orbit its host star 7 times closer thanMercury is orbiting the Sun. READ MORE
