From 6,000 to 45: A Focused Catalogue of Rocky Exoplanets in the Habitable Zone
To the point
Scientists have narrowed more than 6,000 rocky exoplanets to 45 promising targets, including Proxima Centauri b, TRAPPIST-1f, and Kepler-186f, selected for Earth-like light conditions and to be studied with JWST, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, the ELT, and future Habitable Worlds Observatory missions to determine if they have atmospheres and liquid water, a first essential step emphasized by Gillis Lowry.
