Nature Astronomy, Published online: 14 May 2024; doi:10.1038/s41550-024-02259-y Precise mass and radius measurements of giant planet WASP-193 b find an extremely low density of 0.059 ± 0.014 g cm−3. Current evolutionary models cannot fully explain such a low density, but the extended atmosphere makes WASP-193 b

Nature Astronomy, Published online: 13 May 2024; doi:10.1038/s41550-024-02267-y A pathway towards the formation of pyridine and (iso)quinoline, precursors to DNA and RNA, is revealed for conditions appropriate to Saturn’s moon Titan and the Taurus molecular cloud, providing insight into the

Nature Astronomy, Published online: 09 May 2024; doi:10.1038/s41550-024-02257-0 V1298 Tau b is a 20–30-Myr-old Jovian-sized planet with a haze-free, metal-poor atmosphere and a potentially hot interior. These properties suggest that V1298 Tau b formed in situ via pebble accretion and

Nature Astronomy, Published online: 09 May 2024; doi:10.1038/s41550-024-02269-w An updated Jeans parameter that includes tidal forces can distinguish the various driving forces, both exogenous and endogenous, of atmospheric escape from low-mass close-in exoplanets. Depending on its value, escape can be
