An article published in the journal “Astronomy & Astrophysics” reports a study on the planets orbiting the red dwarf star L 98-59. A team of researchers used the ESPRESSO instrument mounted on ESO’s VLT in Chile to study the characteristics of three already known exoplanets and concluded that the innermost one has a mass that is approximately half of Venus’s. There was some doubt about the nature of the outermost planet, and this study suggests that it’s a rocky planet that contains a large amount of water. The researchers found evidence of a fourth planet and clues that there might be a fifth planet.
