Radial Velocity

Star spectroscopy helps detect and analyze stars by studying the light they emit. Using Doppler shifts, space telescopes like the James Webb detect changes in light waves caused by a star's movement. This allows scientists to identify exoplanets and study their characteristics.

New Planet Detected:
Aurelia 1-b

Star System: Aurelia-1

Distance: 30,000 Light Years

Mass:

Estimated to be about 1.7 times the mass of Earth, indicating a rocky composition typical of super-Earths.

Orbital Period:

Completes an orbit around its host star, Aurelius, in 200 Earth days, placing it within the star's habitable zone.

Distance from Host Star:

Positioned at a distance that allows for potentially stable temperatures, calculated from the radial velocity data indicating gravitational interactions.
