A leading-edge new telescope instrument, designed and built by an international collaboration including the University of ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ, has today (28 October) aimed its 5,000 fibre-optic eyes at the night sky for the first time.

Astronomers are planning to hunt for cores of exoplanets around white dwarf stars by ‘tuning in’ to the radio waves that they emit.

An exoplanet smaller than Neptune with its own atmosphere has been discovered in the Neptunian Desert, by an international collaboration of astronomers, with the University of ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ taking a leading role.

A stellar flare ten times more powerful than anything seen on our sun has burst from an ultracool star almost the same size as Jupiter.

A fragment of a planet that has survived the death of its star has been discovered by University of ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ astronomers in a disc of debris formed from destroyed planets, which the star ultimately consumes.
