This list of exoplanets discovered in 2024 is a list of confirmed exoplanets that were first reported in 2024. For exoplanets detected only by radial velocity, the listed value for mass is a lower limit. See Minimum mass for more information.
It was directly imaged using the James Webb Space Telescope in 2023 [3] and the image was released in 2024. [ 4 ] As of 2024 [update] , Epsilon Indi Ab is the nearest exoplanet to be directly imaged, and with a temperature of about 275 K (2 °C ; 35 °F ), is also the coolest exoplanet to be directly imaged, and cooler than all but one imaged ...
The exoplanets were found using a statistical technique called "verification by multiplicity". 95% of the discovered exoplanets were smaller than Neptune and four, including Kepler-296f, were less than 2 1/2 the size of Earth and were in habitable zones where surface temperatures are suitable for liquid water. [17] [18] [19]
A potentially habitable exoplanet that is roughly similar in size to Earth has been found in a system located 40 light-years away, ... 2024 at 5:13 PM.
The planet is located some 1,200 light-years away. A light-year is 5.8 trillion miles. It's the second-lightest exoplanet found so far based on its dimensions and mass, according to the ...
After all their searching, the rocky exoplanet for which scientists finally found evidence of an atmosphere turned out to be one that probably should not even have one. Being so close to its star ...
It had the highest Earth Similarity Index (ESI) of any exoplanet, [2]: 106 but in February 2024 a new study updated the parameters of the planet, thus reducing its ESI to 0.90, making it no longer the planet with the hightest ESI. [3] Along with Teegarden's Star c, it is among the closest known potentially habitable exoplanets. [4] [5]
The largest exoplanet known is HAT-P-32b which is 2.037 R J. The smallest exoplanet known is also Kepler-42d which is 0.051 R J or 0.57 R 🜨. The densest transiting exoplanet known is CoRoT-3b, which has density of 26.4 g/cm 3; the diffusest transiting planet known is Kepler-12b, which has density of only 0.111 g/cm 3.
