First evidence for exoplanet to receive later confirmation. First exoplanets to be confirmed PSR B1257+12 B PSR B1257+12 C: PSR B1257+12: 1992 First super-Earths. [1] These exoplanets orbit a pulsar. First confirmed exoplanet around normal star 51 Pegasi b: 51 Pegasi: 1995 First convincing exoplanet discovered around a Sun-like star. [2]
Motion interpolation of seven images of the HR 8799 system taken from the W. M. Keck Observatory over seven years, featuring four exoplanets. This is a list of extrasolar planets that have been directly observed, sorted by observed separations. This method works best for young planets that emit infrared light and are far from the glare of the star.
* Gas giant likely has no surface, liquid water if present could only be on a large satellite (none known) * density implies water in atmosphere, but none found yet * Possible class II ("water cloud") or class III ("clear") atmosphere planet [12] Gliese 581 c [citation needed] Gliese 581: 5.5 700–1000 20 7–11 12.9 2007 * Not in the CHZ
Also known as a 'hot Jupiter,' the exoplanet is so close to its star that temperatures at the top of the planet could even boil some metals. Scientists find new exoplanet with atmosphere of ...
51 Pegasi b: In 1995 this became the first exoplanet orbiting a main-sequence star to have its existence confirmed.It is a hot Jupiter with a 4.2-day orbit. [12]47 Ursae Majoris b: In 1996 this Jupiter-like planet was the first long-period planet discovered, orbiting at 2.11 AU from the star with the eccentricity of 0.049.
