Artist’s portrayal of a bright orange Warm Jupiter gas-giant planet orbiting its star with smaller planets.

Warm Jupiters not as lonely as expected, U of T astronomers discover

July 15, 2016

After analyzing four years of Kepler space telescope observations, astronomers from the University of Toronto have given the clearest understanding yet of a class of exoplanets called “Warm Jupiters”, showing that many have unexpected planetary companions.

Watching an exoplanet in motion around a distant star

September 16, 2015

A team of astronomers has given us our best view yet of an exoplanet moving in its orbit around a distant star. A series of images captured between November 2013 to April 2015 shows the exoplanet β Pic b as it moves through 1 ½ years of its 22-year orbital period.

First Discovery for a New Planet Finder

August 13, 2015

An international team that includes astronomers from the Dunlap Institute for Astronomy & Astrophysics has discovered a first-of-its-kind “young Jupiter” exoplanet which could help explain how our Solar System formed.

Look up, way up: distant radio galaxies reveal hidden structures right above our heads

June 02, 2015

By observing galaxies billions of light-years away, an international team of astronomers has detected tube-like structures mere hundreds of kilometres above the Earth’s surface.

Fluffy galaxies: now that we know they're real, can we figure out what happened to all the stars?

May 20, 2015

It took the combined efforts of one of the world’s smallest professional telescopes with the world’s largest telescope and an international team of researchers. But now we know: fluffy galaxies exist.

Next question: why?

Astronomers find why galaxies found in clusters are less gassy than non-cluster galaxies

November 18, 2014

Astronomers from the University of Toronto and the University of Arizona have provided the first direct evidence that an intergalactic “wind” is stripping galaxies of star-forming gas as they fall into clusters of galaxies.

The magnetic field of our Milky Way Galaxy.

Planck Space Telescope reveals magnetic fingerprint of our galaxy

May 06, 2014

An international team of astrophysicists has released an unprecedented map of the entire sky that charts the magnetic field shaping our Milky Way Galaxy. The map reveals magnetic field lines running parallel to the plane of the Galaxy, as well as great loops and whorls associated with nearby clouds of gas and dust.

Feeling distressed?

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
