Four small rocky planets confirmed orbiting nearby Barnard's star
Astronomers have identified a quartet of small rocky planets orbiting Barnard's star - one of our closest stellar neighbors - though they concluded that all of them are too hot to harbor life, much like our solar system's innermost planet Mercury.
Researchers find exoplanets in our cosmic neighborhood
Basant's team, which also includes a researcher from Heidelberg University, found the exoplanets using the 8-meter Gemini North telescope on Mauna Kea in the US state of Hawaii. The measuring instrument used was the MAROON-X spectrograph, which was specially designed for the search for red dwarf planets.
