IPAC welcomes Tom Greene as the new Executive Director! “IPAC is a well-oiled machine, and it's clearly the place to go as a premier science and data center for a variety of missions and projects," said Greene. Read more here: ipac.caltech.edu/news/ipac-anno…

This giant planet orbiting a tiny star is challenging our current theories 🧩🤔 Planet TOI-6894b is a low-density gas giant with a radius a bit larger than Saturn. The host star is the lowest mass star to have a transiting giant planet discovered to date. ipac.caltech.edu/news/discovery…

Exoplanet discovery database, NExScI: Exoplanet Science Institute Caltech IPAC's ExoFOP, reaches 1 million files and counting 📈🪐 Read more about how the astronomy community is working together to answer science's biggest questions: ipac.caltech.edu/news/exoplanet…

Hello #AAS246!👋 We're excited to support the astrophysics community in Anchorage this week! Stop by booth 205 in the Exhibit Hall to say hi and to learn about the latest science and tech happening at IPAC and NExScI: Exoplanet Science Institute Caltech IPAC.🤖🚀📶🔍

IPACer Wanggi Lim presented at a press conference at #AAS246 ⭐️ The new research, led in partnership with James De Buizer The SETI Institute, revealed surprising results about the rate at which high-mass stars form in the Galactic Center of the Milky Way. youtube.com/live/gJjSZu9ob…

In the #AAS246 Plenary Lecture, IPAC Senior Scientist and NExScI: Exoplanet Science Institute Caltech IPAC Deputy Director David Ciardi stepped up to the plate to discuss all things exoplanets 🪐 Ciardi took over for Sean Carey, IPAC Senior Scientist and NEO Surveyor Task Lead, who could no longer attend.

A Giant Planet Orbiting a Tiny Star🐁🦖 One of this week's four new planets is TOI-6894 b, a sub-Saturn-mass planet orbiting a low-mass red dwarf—the smallest known star to host a transiting giant planet. We also have seven more spectra for five planets! exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu
