Astronomers analyze masses‚ orbital properties and atmospheric features of six exoplanets

A recently discovered solar system with six confirmed exoplanets and a possible seventh is boosting astronomers' knowledge of planet formation and evolution. Relying on a globe-spanning arsenal of observatories and instruments‚ a team led by researchers at the University of California‚ Irvine has compiled the most precise measurements yet of the exoplanets' masses‚ orbital properties and atmospheric characteristics.
