In 2021, NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite , which scans the entire sky for exoplanets, released a list of newly discovered potential planets. One of these, TOI-4306.01, also called LP 890-9b, caught the attention of Triaud and his team, so they followed-up with ground-based telescopes around the world, for more than 600 hours of observation on its host star.
The definition of a habitable zone for a particular star changes depending on that star’s properties, but the researchers hope that observations with JWST might help them tweak their definition and reveal much more, such as the planets’ masses and whether they have atmospheres
