Beyond our solar system scientists uncover potential new exoplanet
Sydney, Australia (SPX) Mar 05, 2025
Researchers from UNSW Sydney have identified a possible new exoplanet-an extrasolar planet-through an approach called transit timing variation (TTV). This technique enabled them to detect subtle shifts in the orbital timing of a known planet, hinting at the presence of another planetary body. Published in The Astrophysical Journal, the study, led by Scientia Senior Lecturer Ben Montet and
