Astronomers have detected over 5,800 confirmed exoplanets. One extreme class is ultra-hot Jupiters, of particular interest because they can provide a unique window into planetary atmospheric dynamics.

Challener said additional JWST observations could help improve the first 3D eclipse map's spatial resolution. Already the technique can help illuminate the temperature maps of other hot Jupiters, ...

An international team of astronomers, including a specialist from NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD), has created the first-ever three-dimensional map of an exoplanet — an “ultra-hot Jupiter” located beyond our ...
