Most importantly, the bolometric fluxes and angular radii reported here for a total of 498 planet host stars - with median accuracies of 1.7 % and 1.8 %, respectively - serve as a fundamental dataset to permit the re-determination of transiting planet radii and masses with the Gaia second data release to ~ 3 % and ~ 5 % accuracy, better than currently published precisions, and determined in an entirely empirical fashion.
Current methods can estimate the size and temperature of an exoplanet planet in order to determine whether liquid water could exist on the planet's surface, believed to be one of the criteria for a planet hosting the right conditions for life.
Some estimates suggest the planet hosts nearly 7 million more creatures that have yet to be identified.
«The nature of proof should not be: «Can we point at a planet and say, yes or no, that's the planet hosting alien life,» said Jacob Bean, associate professor of astronomy and astrophysics at UChicago.
Scientists already knew that Jupiter sported an aurora in its northern hemisphere — one that is permanent, large enough to swallow Earth, and hundreds of times brighter than the ephemeral glows our planet hosts at each pole.
CLAIMS that Mars's atmosphere contains methane, which have fuelled speculations that the planet hosts life, may be premature.
